Its not just the photography, if the quality of the strike was good enough you would see a nice cameo. Of course one might say oh its probably a worn die or something... Its up for debate if those coins where struck with quality control.... One thing I believe is that counterfeits should not be underestimated and they are getting better every day. So we can just speculate... Soon ill be getting one of these and ill be uploading some good pictures to compare.. Report this Post to the Staff

The third one looks a little too mirror-like, but in all honesty I have no doubts that all three are genuine. I want to note that if you take a close look you will see that there is a big difference in how well the coin was struck and its not because of the contrast of the picture. Concerning the 3rd scudi the details seem a bit better however in this case the cameo is.... well... Report this Post to the Staff
