I would have to say they are both fakes. Both sould be 46mm in size. The weight for the ducaton is a bit light, about a third of a gram. I'm not...
If genuine, a lot. But the odds are very good it's a fake. There are probably a thousand times, maybe 10,000 times, more fakes of that coin out...
No doubt you are getting better due to your time spent here :whistle:
I'd make that a month.
Yes they did. I have seen the ads in the coin mags where they are selling them - for not much more than bullion. If somebody paid $4500 for one as...

On the contrary, I would think it proves a great deal. Read the quote again - "spurious methods are objects of study, and a sample of a...
Well you guys should be happy to know that Peter will soon be home and once again able to mind the store should issues arise. I suspect you'll see...
Is it possible that you are not recognizing the effects of PVC ? It's not always green ya know. And it's not always slimy. During the various...
There is one resource that is invaluable - Coin Archives It is the equivalent for world coinage that Heritage is for US coinage....
The 2 sets of pics make it harder for me to decide - and that's unusual. Your pics Paul make the coin look worse, the Heritage pics make it look...
Not at all. Just making a point Tom. Yeah, I know it has been said in here. I've said it myself more times than I can count. But somehow,...
