Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 09:19 am I'd like to see the alibaba coin as well. This is a rather impressive fake. If the weight was correct and struck from the proper alloy I would probably have accepted it. The odd field texture tot he left of the wing is a little odd but not enough for me to condemn it. But a second coin with the exact same contact marks and weaknesses would. Would also be good to know the exact weight. Report this Post to the Staff

vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 11:31 am I tryed with paint to compare them. But the kind of image aint working to post. The E looks different then the S. If you take an closer look. So it aint exactly the same I think.. The S is indeed both whe an small cut on the same place. Report this Post to the Staff
