Sort of want to bid on this but have no idea as to whether it is a real piece?
And what sort of value do you think its worth?
item isn't mines so can't weigh it or measure it.

Hello ryurazu

Here is my thoughts. If you cannot authenticate a coin with your knowledges, buy it to a seller you trust and let him do it for you.

Authenticating a pillar is not easy, even for some proffessionals with the coin in their hands. Imagine doing it with some bad quality photos, and without knowing its weight or even seing its edge.

I would never bid on it, I don't like its general look, and I don't trust its origin

Regards

I agree with txabs. There are too many fakes of these out there.

As txabs said, much better photos of the coin and edge are needed to attempt an opinion on the authenticity of this coin.

The weight would also help.

Better pics would help me too- one of the lions and a castle look really odd.

no problems didn't bid on it, no harm done, seem like someone like it was bid over top end of estimate.
