Edition #2 PCGS Counterfeit Detection

The section on counterfeiting is exceptionally fun to read and very informational...congrats to PCGS. Sure do wish I could see a collection of counterfeits gleaned from the coin population (not ones I own) so they could tell their stories to me.

Example:"On most U.S. coins, authenticators look for the letters, digits, and devices to erupt from the surface squarely in a sharp, defined manner."

"...erupt from the surface..." hee hee, very nice!

Just thought I'd share the fun.
