If you have 60 amp main service coming from the pole to the house, is it a fire issue to have a 100 amp panel inside the house?

if the house is fed 60A, thats all he is going to get period, no matter how big of a panel he puts in. The bigger panel allows for more circuits, but wont give more Amps....curious to see more replies.

I just love learning something new everyday.
So we have cleared the air about the hazzards of having incorrect wiring, but if there is a 100amp panel inside the house, how does one tell at the mast what is coming from the mast in, assuming the electrical company is providing 100 amp service to the mast? or even 60 amp service to the mast?
You have to assume the electric utility would NOT have been so stupid as to hook larger service to a smaller masthead, but I guess it's possible,

Electrical is not my field, but I found this rather interesting and would like a simple synopsis of this situation.
So how would a green horn tell from the outside of the house? The mast diameter? Or you need to be inside and see the main feed coming in?
How can you tell quickly what service it really is if your not an electrician?
The answers are appreciated.
