Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 5:06 pm Hello everyone, I think I've gotten much better at identifying immediate fake (or immediate authentic specimens; at least in the context of buying group lots of coins). Any thoughts on this one? My instinct is fake. Report this Post to the Staff

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1303 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 5:27 pm Yes and it looks like you have something where the "R" in the coin below is marked as Replica. So yes modern and not real... https://www.forumancientcoins.com/f...age00015.jpg Edited by louisvillekyshop 01/24/2023 5:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 8:43 pm @roma, if you have this piece in hand, would you mind adding the weight and diameter to the thread so that we have that information? Thx. Also, here are a few links to the real deal from various CCF members' collections: http://goccf.com/t/436209 http://goccf.com/t/388121 http://goccf.com/t/378195 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 02:58 am @spence...I do not have the item in hand. I left it after concluding it was fake; just looking for a confirmation and test of my developing skills. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 2:18 pm A couple of flags to watch for. Note what appears to be a very fine seam around an unusually square edge. Also, notice how the beading on either side drops away; this suggests that the original from which the cast was made was centered differently. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 2:49 pm @kush... I was 99%+ on this one being fake. I like to use the forum to confirm. Thanks for your response! I posted two other coins I saw today at a shop under another thread. Report this Post to the Staff
travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 7:48 pm Just to add the edge is very sharp and smooth. This is an example of a fake I bought long ago. Edge of an authentic example (not crisp or clean): Report this Post to the Staff
