How to Identify Rare Coin Fakes

With the rise of counterfeit coins, collectors must know how to identify fakes. A rare coin dealer San Antonio can help you avoid scams by providing key tips to spot a counterfeit.

  • Inspect the weight and size of the coin.
  • Look for unusual markings or inconsistencies.
  • Verify the coin's material.
  • Get an expert opinion if unsure.

Detecting counterfeit coins is an essential skill for collectors. Even small discrepancies in a coin's weight or size can be a telltale sign that it's not authentic. Another red flag is odd markings or errors in the design, which are often missed by counterfeiters.
