Ras, Yours is a modern forgery. Barry Murphy
The more I look at the CNG ticket, the more I am confused by the AUG. It looks like the 129735 implies the coin was purchased in December of 97...

Unfortunately I didn't photo the reverses, but they look like this (the top photo is the same coin as my bottom left photo). These typically sell...
[ATTACH] It’s always nice to have an Oxford triple cross my desk, but when I get 6 at once...... sorry the photo isn’t better, just a quick cell...
