Dutchgulden Pillar of the Community Netherlands 1204 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 2:06 pm I what I mean is that if is a fake, its very professional because you cant see anything on the rim Edited by Dutchgulden 07/23/2013 2:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 2:08 pm Which is why I have changed my opinion from 50/50 to most very likely quite genuine (with tooling and smoothing) Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 2:10 pm The only question now is if you can live with that. Some 'high grade' buyers will buy it and some 'purist' type buyers won't. You need decide which type you are ! Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 2:49 pm I like the coin even though it has been "improved". Report this Post to the Staff
Dutchgulden Pillar of the Community Netherlands 1204 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 3:05 pm Yes its difficult to decide, its a beautiful coin and if I dont like it, I suppose I can still sell it for at least the sales price of 140 dollars? Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 3:39 pm Never 'suppose' anything. If you want to sell it you need list it and find out if anyone will buy it ! Just because you were willing to bite the hook doesn't guarantee anyone else will. Besides if you go to sell it there are almost always costs involved. If you have doubt you need remember that there exist thousands of examples of this coin in dealer inventories and private collections. Never mind any being found in the fields of Europe by weekend warriors out and about metal detecting. If you have doubt don't do it. At $140 it isn't being given away. Report this Post to the Staff
