[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 172080, member: 705"]Tom I must disagree with most of what you say.... Most of the time feel and the ring isn't what can prove if a coin is real or not--most of the time with these Chinese fakes the detail is all messed up or as other times the mintmark is funny or such---that is where slabbing comes in nice--the people that work at PCGS and NGC are experts and know how to tell if its fake or not---and when they slab a coin they are guaranting <sp?> that the coin is real---and they pay when they mess up. While for circulated coins that may be fine for UNC that can lower the value faster than anything---one flip and a nice big fingerprint on it and there went the value and what you paid for it That is what I totaly disagree with---it makes the faking job that much HARDER- But then this is just MHO Speedy[/QUOTE]
