I agree with everyone here that the coin appears to be genuine. While it is worn, flow lines are visible around the lettering and the metal of the...
Byzantine is not my collecting specialty either, but just looking at the coin fabric, it definitely looks cast, not struck to me. Details and coin...
Interesting article - thanks for sharing!
I thought Xodus had already posted a match further up the thread. Different from Alegandron's coins, with Pegasos on the reverse. To me, that's...
There are a few other CT'ers which would probably be able to expand on this topic in much greater detail - maybe @VGODVCKS?

Looks authentic to me as well.
Nice coin... looks genuine to me...
Agree with everyone's thoughts here. Selling these is knowingly participating in fraud. "Novelty strike" is not enough of a reason to sell a...
Perfect, Martin. Again, many thanks for raising awareness of these. I find these posts very helpful so I am aware of the fakes out there. Please...
These fakes are very similar to the ones that Lanz has been selling off and on over the past year or so. These coins lack any of the black gunk...
