GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 10:29 pm Eh. A bit. Looks harshly cleaned which might be it. It does look sorta funky, but I never look at the T2 and T3 halves enough to know what would be off. Report this Post to the Staff
Lancek Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 10:36 pm Way off, especially when it's easy to compare to all the others he has for sale. Maybe they are fakes too. But at least they look like much better fakes. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 07:41 am Stylistically wrong. One of the easiest and fastest ways to pick fake coins. Especially tourist fake ancients, but applies to moderns as well. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 09:08 am Not slabbed. As far as I'm concerned coins of that price MUST be slabbed, preferably by NGC or PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5671 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 10:59 am I'm not seeing the problem. Date position looks right to me. It looks cleaned, and the color is way off, probably from his photography, but I don't see anything specific that indicates a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 5:54 pm The only problem I see with it is that it's a problem coin. I think the cleaning combined with the way the pic was taken is making the coin appear off. Report this Post to the Staff
