I'm flipping through my PCGS grading book and was reading the section on counterfeit detection. I was also trying to remember the "1893-S" Morgan from my local B&M shop and where it probably came from [ie...from what coin was it likely counterfeited]. This lead me to query what counterfeits are the most difficult to detect and why...Thoughts??

and of course some really clever struck copies of certain coins which shall remain nameless here and these are the scarce exceptions to the rules usually not seen but they are out there

The ones that haven't been detected yet.
