[edit] Material on fake coins removed

I've removed the text below:

"They usually make rare, old coins using this method to deceive coin collectors into thinking these counterfeits are real.

To detect these coins, look at the edge and look for a seam where the two halves of the mold were joined. Also, look for lack of detail, super-smooth surfaces, and way too much luster, as counterfeiters often over-polish their dies and coins, causing all three of these to occur.".

I don't think it belongs in the article. Alfons Åberg (talk) 18:13, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
