Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 11/16/2015 6:04 pm I noticed that none of the toning looks quite right, and the legends (especially dates) are bold and mushy. Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 11/16/2015 6:19 pm I'm thinking about buying this fake for my reference collection: From the no-no site for about $3. Report this Post to the Staff
Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 11/16/2015 7:19 pm Do TPG's weigh the coin when determining if they are real or not or can most graders spot them as soon as they are seen? How much should we worry about a fake coin slipping past a TPG? Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 11/16/2015 7:32 pm It has happened. There was a post about a fake 1864 L Indian in an NGC slab. NGC made right, though. Report this Post to the Staff
CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 11/17/2015 02:16 am I am confident they are weighed and measured but at the same time the graders should be able to spot them right when they hit the desk. The problem isn't the TPG letting on slip in a real slab it's the Chinese making the fake slab Report this Post to the Staff
