Im thinking about purchasing this from a decent seller but they aren't sure if its genuine. I checked the FORVM fake reports and didn't come across this( but that doesn't mean much) I wanted to ask the experts on here what they thought so far. Im going to find out the weigh and diameter soon. My gut says its not cast but is there a chance it could be a pressed fake/forgery?
ty for your opinion. I just wanted to ask the experts what they thought. if it looked def genuine to me I would be asking of course that's why
If a seller isn't sure if it's fake then I would pass. Too good to be true...except that one isn't very good looking
It looks fake to me, I've seen a lot of these and this one seems a bit different to the usual, there doesn't seem enough room between standards and the circles seem small and the galley looks completely different to what I am used to seeing, also eagles head seems strange. I'm no expert without it's weight and not having it in hand it is hard to tell but I would stay away from it.
The style of the OP coin is wrong. It doesn't look to have been struck either. It looks like a cast, of a fake. And not a very good fake to begin with too. Wildwinds or acsearch are good avenues to check style if you insist on buying from eBay. It's not foolproof, but it can still help eliminate the poor style fakes.
