echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 2:26 pm The detail on the reverse looks too good to be a casting. The severe pitting could be caused by environmental damage. IMO this coin has too many negative aspects that I would stay away from it. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 6:00 pm @AR, I agree that the surface of this piece is quite porous. I don't know enough to go against what the others have said, but I did find this seller mentioned in several previous CCF threads. You can use the keyword SAVOCA in the search box at the top of your screen to find all of them, but here are a couple that present slightly conflicting opinions: http://goccf.com/t/187802 http://goccf.com/t/215840 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
AlRashid Valued Member Canada 167 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 6:57 pm @spence I also agree with you. I tend to not buy from german dealers as I heard no matter the reputation they often plauged by fake coins so I only buy from few dealers such as CNG and Steve albums. I didnt actually plan to buy this but I noticed it in acsearch and thought it might be cast because of holes on it so wanted to know what others think about this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
