    Didn't test he put it under a scope and said it looks like it was excavated it looks like "concrete Slurry"

    Could not find seams on any of the coins

    Well, whoever did the authentication on the ring in Pittsburgh is wrong. At this point I think you probably have the general consensus here, that they are all either fake or highly suspect. You can do with them as you wish of course, but if it were me I would try to get refunds. If you cant do that, well, just keep them and try to imagine that they are real anyway.

    @AngelDeath I would look into getting your money back on these coins. If pointing the sellers to this thread does not work, consider sending the coins to David Sear to get proof one way or the other.

    Excellent idea. I have been able to resolve "disputes" by sending them to David. Not only was my money refunded, but my seller refunded the freight to and from Sear, as well as my authentication (forgery) costs from Sear. This has happened twice for me.

    Here are a few of the copies that can be found of your coins. Perhaps if you show them to the dealer in question it will be easier to obtain a refund.

    There are other images of the cast forgeries, but these are some of the better ones. Save your money and don't send them to Sear, unless you can be refunded for the cost.
