tom007 Valued Member 73 Posts	Posted 09/18/2015 01:52 am Hello, Just wondering if some one could help me with the authenticity of the following coins. Sorry for all the photos, and I do not have weight or diameter as they are not my coins. I can, however, post some closer up photos and shots of the rims if need be. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/18/2015 04:28 am Agree. All fake copies unfortunately. The US Half Dollar is probably your only legit coin. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

mlov Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 09/19/2015 7:58 pm Look at the grainy surfaces, especially the flat areas. That is a key diagnostic in basic Counterfeit Detection. Watch this video from PCGS on Counterfeit Detection based on surfaces (minute mark 10:50), and to see more diagnotics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M75GZeKZb38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfy...S-BX6dxf1zLl https://rumble.com/v4308uh--korean-...-guide-.html Edited by mlov 09/19/2015 8:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
