Dutchgulden Pillar of the Community Netherlands 1204 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 11:47 am I posted this coin before on this forum but I have just received it. Now I'm not sure its a genuine coin, maybe you guys can take a closer look: diameter: 18,5 - 22mm - 4 grams I found almost the same coin in the fake database. However, the X on obverse side isn't present on ALL the fake ones. The seller has a return policy if not satisfied so I need to be really sure.. http://www.forgerynetwork.com/viewa...20&srchall=0 Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 11:59 am I looked at the fakes on that sight and I still think the OP coin is authentic. The shape of the G on the obverse is different then all the fake posted on Forgery network. I think what the forger's wanted to do was to "copy" the partial flat strike common on many RR issues. I see where your coin is close but. It is not of the same dies. The shape of the "G" is a safe bet at least based on this provided picture and comparison. Also the fakes do not have the obverse "star" pattern. I still think you are OK. Report this Post to the Staff
