Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 12/07/2012 5:55 pm Look at the 2 "pearls" 11 o'clock what appears to be raised on second, seems depressed on the first. Interesting...a fake for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

That's just an optical illusion, caused by the light coming from opposite angles in the two pictures. To me, the two coins look identical. They are either different pictures of the same coin, or identically-made copies. 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
