It looks like an arm's length fake to me.
I do not have May.
Can you cite a number even close to this?
"Surface problems"? I think that it has
style problems and execution problems.
If you don't know your coins, know your dealer. I started in ancients via The Celator. If someone advertises there, they are all right. Now, we have VCoins and other venues. I look for ANA membership -- ANS, etc., also. Again, however, for me, if you can drive to a show, you can meet a seller of ancients. And, again, there is always May. You can borrow it from the ANA library if you are a member.
One thing with ancients versus US and even world is the catalog attribution. Reliable sellers identify their coins. I mean, work is work, any some get by with a minumum description, but for something this expensive, if they don't want to do the work to earn your money, I'd go somewhere else.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. On the other hand, Drusus' warning about the Histaia coins sent me looking and I was prepared for a $50 loss, but happily, I no longer one. So, we all are vulnerable.
Be all that as it may, I would return the coin.
Anyone else?
