If you could take a picture of one coin at a time on a flat surface it would be clearer. To have two of these coins would be extremely rare if they were real. I think these are later reproductions.

Hi, Mad84.

I don't mean to be critical, but it often takes a really good picture for even experts to correctly identify fake and real coins. I'm not an expert, but these photos are still just too small. The angle is also an unusual one, which compounds the difficulty of evaluating the coin(s).

I see nothing in the current photos that screams "authentic" and I think I see some evidence of casting, which would identify the coins as reproductions.

Just my thoughts...

I agree with the others--I'd like to see the shot from above at 1:1 proportions to make a comparison.
Yet, seeing it at an angle is useful, because I think I'm seeing that "waxy" sheen one finds on cast coins...but I hope I'm wrong! Wouldn't having two be like winning Lotto on consecutive days?

In the future, please keep the same coin in one topic, there was no need to start a new one. Now there is info on the same coin in two different places. And please stop YELLING.
