Too much evenness of strike quality and detail. Individual areas stand out as dissimilar to the actual design, but it's just too "nice" to be real. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 7:33 pm Not genuine. This is a modern copy. Not only is it too "perfect", It appears to be made of bronze or brass. This was struck with modern equipment. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
