So if the counterfeiters are that good, that has me a bit worried. I won&#039;t be doing any flinch-worthy tests like dropping it and hearing how it sounds, or one of those silver acid tests. So, my best bet is to ask you all. I&#039;ll send it off to NGC unless there&#039;s a serious / obvious issue that one of you addresses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
