Even more when the guy says he know nothing but gives a proper / detailed attribution with keywords. Report this Post to the Staff
diatonix Valued Member Norway 89 Posts	Posted 08/01/2014 10:20 am Hi Mathieu, yes indeed... Apart from its suspicious "pizza look": this one was easy since Sedwick has it on his list. Report this Post to the Staff

diatonix Valued Member Norway 89 Posts	Posted 08/01/2014 12:11 pm In cases like this it's always interesting to study the bid history. Turns out that even obviously seasoned numismatic bidders (with hundreds and thousands of feedback!) eagerly swallow stuff like this hook, line & sinker! Report this Post to the Staff

odentheviking Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 11:30 am I understand that this is a little too late........ But I bought one just like this one about 13 years ago! I got mine as a copy "Study Coin" in a set of two. Very nicely made and has fooled a copy of coin shop owners in my area. I love the fakes! Report this Post to the Staff
