Also, I agree with the others that you have a fake.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7936 Posts	Posted 09/05/2022 10:13 pm Hi, cfedericop. This can help answer your question "Because?" 1. Dentils (the toothed border). On the real coin, they are very regular. On the fake coin they are irregular 2. Lettering. On the real coin, the letters are of a fairly consistent style, size and thickness even if there is some variation in spacing. On the fake coin the letters are very non-uniform (they are REALLY BAD ) 3. Design details (face, hair, clothing). You can see the clothing is very different, and with a lack of detail and beauty on the fake. The curls of the hair are poorly executed. And so on. A side-by-side comparison like this will often help. Edited by tdziemia 09/05/2022 10:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
