Counterfeit Coins Cause For Concern Among Canadian Collectors

I think like everything else technology will eventually be the answer to this dilemma. Carbon dating , computers , digital imaging were all once ideas. Metallurgy will prob. be the answer . possibly done with grading .In the meantime? Reporting any and all counterfeits should be mandatory and laws in place to protect victims.
Pipe dream ? Again ,all depends on the coin and numismatic's community to stay on top of the situation. maybe will be the suffragettes of the new millennium.

THAT would be interesting

I am pretty sure PCGS has their own XRF...

Thanks for the confirmation DBM. Page 301, 2015 Charlton Standard Catalogue Canadian Coins. I'm not as good as Nickel's Guy,

IMHO on the Counterfeit markers,

1. the broken stems reverse as DBM noted.
2. The almost closed C.
3. Both 1's on the date look elongated at the base of the 1.
4. The top of the 8's look enlarged and looses degrees of oval symmetry.
