I would love to learn what to look for when determining authenticity and so any more information about it would be appreciated.

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 8:45 pm Excellent photography - showed everything there was to show! Thats a first. Unfortunately, its a fake. Its got a big seam where the mould joined together. Design style was a little suspect but the seam really sealed the deal. Ive no idea what it is copying - its something Judaean - perhaps a prutah? EDIT: Thought Id add - condition is also suspect. Perfectly flat with an odd flan. doesn't bode well either. Edited by Ben 03/30/2013 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Aksar New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 8:53 pm Thanks for the quick responses. I don't have a collection of world coins yet, so I figure I'll keep it since I got it as a penny in change anyways. :) Report this Post to the Staff

The use of "modern" script is the telltale sign that these are indeed modern replicas. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
