Help on telling repro
I sent this earlier but I never saw it post, so please forgive if it is a duplicate, but I'm also not seeing any replies. Can anybody give me a short course in how to tell a good, circulated reproduction of a liberty quarter from the real deal?

AH HA! I think I figured it out. If the one I reply to has html, mine
defaults to an HTML reply even if I have it set to "plain text," but if I flip it to "html" and then back to plain, it will fix it. "Phil DeMayo" wrote in message ...

Linda, check your settings under Tools-Options-Send. Is the box "Reply to messages using the format in which they were sent" checked? If so, remove the checkmark. On the same tab, then select "Plain Text" under News Sending Format. HTH JimP |

I HAVE NO IDEA. REALLY!!! I'm sorry. I've selected "plain text" and I made
that change suggested about unclicking the "reply in html" -- please, don't beat me. I am NOT doing this on purpose or out of perversity. I don't know it goes out that way. I am *trying* to fix it. My apologies!!!! "Phil DeMayo" wrote in message ... "Linda" responds to "crc2074": THANKS!!! That was it, yes If so, why did this response come through as HTML?

Can anybody give me a short course in how to tell a good, circulated reproduction of a liberty quarter from the real deal? Anything than can be counterfeited will be. I have seen poor copies of Large Cents and much else, all fairly common. That said, generally speaking, there is not much reason TODAY to go through the trouble of making a counterfeit Seated Quarter (or Standing Liberty; you do not specify which Type). HOWEVER, any uncommon date or mintmark will be faked. The usual benchmarks are to look for a "soapy", "bubbly" or rough surface. Make sure the coin has ridges along the rim (not always a true test, but one test). Look for casting flash or file marks on the rim. Basically, the best way to know is to get a genuine coin of that Type and compare yours to it. |

Basically, the best way to know is to get a genuine coin of that Type and compare yours to it. There are several good books about counterfeit detection that explain the flaws of cast and die-struck fakes. I was helped immensely in my understanding by the Hancock and Spanbauer "Standard Catalog of United States Altered and Counterfeit Coins". It's a few decades old now, but as a guide to contemporary counterfeits and criminal methods through 1973 it is more than adequate. Alan 'makes a good start' |
