Thank you for this clarification. I was figuring if a coin was put through this filter, the best match to it would be the best to then study further (as I posted).
If I did find a coin that passed all of the above, and was raw, I agree, specific gravity, would be the next step. I see where the fakers are making good enough MOrgans that they weigh within tolerances and have the same tonal ring. Admittedly though, I have yet to see one posted that will pass scrutiny as above. Cast coins normal are not all that hard to tell either from their lack of details and sometimes very porous (micro) surface.

Unfortunately the other threads I posted about a FE cent, fake tombac nickel, and a few others were some of the first I did here before knowing I could post the pics directly to CCF. the images were posted to an image hosting site and are now gone. Maybe I will redo them sometime.

How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
