<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2479707, member: 76086&quot;]No matches, its just the appearance that gives it away.&nbsp; Fakes are often made by using a hydraulic press rather than striking them.&nbsp; They can often look genuine as the results are what appear to be flow lines (and I suppose in a way they are), but there are too many of them, too even and deep as a result of the unusual amount of pressure used to make them.&nbsp; One can just google &#039;Slavei fakes&#039; and compare those to this example.&nbsp; Study a number of them and one can recognize them readily.&nbsp; Oh, one more thing:&nbsp; pressed fakes also often come with very large and deep flan cracks, again a result of too much pressure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
