[QUOTE="lehmansterms, post: 2598107, member: 80804"]Well, I wrote rather extensively on the subject, but the site seems to have eaten my responses. Most of it had to do with a website I will recommend: [url]http://tinyurl.com/j3qhh8d[/url] This is a full diagnostic system. It starts from the premise that although you can show that a coin is likely to be a modern copy, it is impossible to [I]PROVE[/I] that a coin is authentically ancient. This site presents an exhaustive system of checkpoints - and tells why each is important. The final chapter is the "grading" of the likelihood of a coin being modern which weights each of 44 possible, observable points as to how important each is. Originally written in Spanish, the translation is a bit rough - unintentionally humorous here and there, too - for those fluent in Spanish, the original site can be reached at: [url]http://tesorillo.com/fakes/indice.htm[/url][/QUOTE]
