09rich15 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 8:44 pm This 1928, 20-Lire piece, KM# 69 seems a to be a little bewildering. It has all the proper specifications (15 gms. in weight, 2 mils thick and 35.5 mil diameter). The only problem is: it has a soft amber wash upon it. I see in Krause Pub. KM#70, that the other 1928 20- Lire coin ( the 10th Anniversary with the helmeted King Vittorio), that some of the KM-70 coins were done in gold and also silvered brass and considered fantasy coins. However, Krause does not mention that in regards to the KM# 69 coin as pictured. So, I'm just looking for a couple of opinions to confirm my fears. --- Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7111 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 07:35 am I can't find anything about the underlying coin that says "fake." I expect that blemish obverse might have knocked the price down a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1940 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 7:28 pm Forgetting the helmet version... VERY ubiquitous and long known in the market - plus most are obvious... There are LOTS are fakes of this version around. Not sure exactly WHAT the surface coloration is, especially from looks like scans. The guess until proven otherwise is really overt fake tone.
