pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 03/16/2018 3:19 pm paulCT, coin is not mine, but unfortunately is being sold at an auction, and no one notice the "hair fringe" differences on a real one. Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 12:43 am The coin is one I have seen many times. It is a numismatic forgery. It is definitely not a circulating counterfeit but rather one made to sell to collectors. In hand the coin has the earmarks of a Chinese forgery but I have no proof of that origin. It may simply be a local Italian forgery but it is no more than 40 years old. Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 12:49 am pirgah As I have aged I find I need a microscope more than I ever did and the screen on my laptop has gotten too small. So I connected the laptop to a 42 inch TV set that I have wall mounted over my desk. All you might need is a good quality TV with as high a pixilation as possible. I did not spend a fortune but it really helps a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
