<p>[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 1085583, member: 11521"]The "sniffer" shouldn't detect anything because there is nothing unusual to detect - no added chemicals, no added metal, etc. Expert graders / authenticators should be able to spot the fakes due to one or more of a number of things - tool marks, repeating depressions, unnatural luster, etc. These experts see thousands of coins every day and they know what the genuine coin should look like. When they see a fake they are more likely than the rest of us to notice "this coin does not look right".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
