PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 1:08 pm Sadly I think they are right. The fuzziness of the central circle on the reverse as well as the bubbly nature of the fields strongly suggest a cast copy. Sorry! Report this Post to the Staff
daltonista Pillar of the Community United States 1058 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 5:56 pm Good looking coin, but can't comment on authenticity on eyeball alone. But it doesn't matter who's correct -- it's not really a fight you can win. You can't leave a possible counterfeit out there with your name and reputation attached to it.

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 08/31/2023 10:24 pm Were these the pictures it was sold as? I can't really tell for sure that it's cast, just by looking at these pics. So if there are signs in-hand that it's cast, or it's the wrong weight (or some other obvious clue), then it's understandable the buyer didn't know beforehand. 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
