Seller says he is not sure that it is original (I guess he also thinks it's fake). Weight: 13.9 g Diameter: 29-30 mm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 01/22/2017 1:46 pm @zqter, I can't tell if this posted coin is a fake or real. All I can say is that if I have doubts about a coin, I don't buy it. I'm sure there are some that have crept into my collection over the years, but I see no reason to purchase coins that are questionable.

zqter Valued Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 68 Posts	Posted 01/22/2017 2:03 pm @Spence, I know but this coin is pretty cheap (6 dollars) so that's why I thought of buying it. Thanks for help! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 01/22/2017 2:42 pm @zqter, I hear what you are saying and maybe six bucks makes it worth taking a chance on this coin. For me, I'd rather drop $12 and buy a coin that I don't suspect is fake (and from a dealer who is sure enough of his wares that he is willing to back up the sale with a return policy). In the end, it is your collection so it should be your call.
