It is appreciated. "Authentication" is a tougher job than it may first appear.

Sorry to hear of Ricky Pushkin's dilemma.

In the James Bond movie "O---" fake Russian Faberge Eggs are switched for real ones and vice-versa. At some point the Villain smashes a suspected "fake egg" with a hammer. Everyone else in the room looks on with "uh-ohh" expressions. It was amusing in the movie. In real life adventures, probably not so much.
