Andi10 Valued Member Romania 130 Posts	Posted 01/31/2023 03:17 am Hello,expert colleagues! I have a persian coin of 5000 dinars 1906,jubilee issue for the birthday of the shah. My variety is that without lettering at right/left of the bust. The problem is that the weight of my coin is 23.59g.& catalogues give 23.03g. Diameter of 36mm. matches. Very low original mintage(about 3000 pieces). The surface was tested and it is silver.The edge is reeded. The question is: GENUINE coin or FAKE? Thank you very much! P.S.: I forgot,the coin is NOT MAGNETIC. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Andi10 01/31/2023 06:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

marckdaniels Valued Member Uruguay 150 Posts	Posted 01/31/2023 1:07 pm Thanks! I am far away from being an expert, but thanks to this forum I detected a counterfeit in my collection. And I am seeing some similiarity with what other people told me, and is that there are some things that look bolder in your photos than the ones I am able to find online. That to me means that it was made from a cast mold. What calls more my attention is the date, in yours looks bold while also has wear, so doesn't match in my modest opinion. Again, I am no expert at all and just reviewed it with things online. Hope someone with more experience could share their thoughts!

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
