Tab

IMO, the jaw looks odd.............
However....I am not a bullion expert.
Those who condemn the tab should at least give SOME indication of why it's bad.
I don't doubt the assessment, but the person who posted deserves some explanation......

[Gary Symonds]

Yes, I too need some guidance why this is a fake.

How about some supporting facts, other than a conclusion of the word "no."

Completely agree ...to quote a quote

beware of fakes

Yes it is bad , as the good doctor has said , that being the case " should we make the fakers better at their trade than they already are ? or should we sacrifice the few who buy these without asking or have enough knowledge to buy them ? that is the question ?

This makes no sense to me.

How could asserting supporting facts as to why this tab is a fake, could help the fakers?

All they need is to obtain an original, and work on that.

How could words substitute for an original reference exemplar?

I agree , if information remains a secret , it can only help honest collectors make mistakes.

be happy the real experts are giving a comment w/o an explenation like Jim does. That is more valuable then no comment or a false comment.
We have seen those over the past, just look close and compare.

I was asked by PM and said I thought it could be ok but there was something that gave me pause ... 'Not a one-looker' sums up my thoughts.
