tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7933 Posts	Posted 08/13/2021 09:18 am On another coin forum, a rare 1592 German States doppelthaler has been posted for identification/authentication. It's possible the coin could turn out to be a fake, but the photos look pretty good. The poster has made some rather incredulous comments on the provenance (or at least how it came into his or her possession), so, I was curious if anything fitting this description shows up on any list (I was not able to find it poking around on this subforum).

Although we will need pictures to comment further, I understand why the subject of 'fake' comes up so often with European crown sized coins. Big money can be at stake. It is wise to have them all investigated before deciding to buy. Nevertheless, the examples that often come up at major European auction houses are all professionally examined before getting to the sale room. As such, provenance (that is independently provable), is essential, and auction records are one of the best ways of establishing good provenance. A seller's 'say so' is usually ignored.

They helped build many old collections over the years and then eventually the collections end up being re-consigned the the same auction houses when the collectors pass away or the families lose interest in the coins.
