This one caught my eye: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/dt...Default.aspx What do you think are the chances of it not being authentic? Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

All Vcoins dealers agree to be bound by their code of ethics, which means that the only way they can sell fakes is if they are listed as such. You can take a look at the dealers feedback and other coins for sale, and everything seems to check out. Also, the coin looks genuine. I don't see any signs of it being cast. So, if I were you, go for it! The coin looks genuine in all appearances. Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps a bit overpriced, but real IMHO.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/01/2017 8:49 pm to the community This coin is 100% genuine. When you buy from Vcoins there is always a 100% guarantee. I've been buying from Vcoins for years and never had a problem with any of their dealers. Report this Post to the Staff

That said, I think the coin is very overpriced. Unless there is something special about it, Hungarian denars are seldom worth more than $10 in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff
