<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 693744, member: 4336&quot;]Spotting alterations is hard for me, I can spot most gold counterfeits, however some coins are harder than others. Gold dollars are hard because of their size, and 2 1/2 dollar indian US gold is very hard to detect, also because of its size and because of its design (sunken relief). When I took my counterfeit detection class, we were handed several 2 1/2 dollar indian heads. We were asked to look in the neck for toolmarks, ALOT of people had trouble spotting them on the neck. I couldn&#039;t spot it no matter how hard I looked..I don&#039;t know why.</p><p><br /></p><p>Detecting alterations can be tricky, but my thing I&#039;m the worst at and have the most trouble is grading. I have a real hard time learning how to grade, especially having no mentor now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
