<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2363215, member: 19250&quot;]Jupiter88&nbsp; </p><p>I&#039;m truly&nbsp; not trying&nbsp; to&nbsp; poo poo&nbsp;&nbsp; your coin, The first time I looked at it I was like cool ,but admittedly I never gave it the once&nbsp; over till Rick said&nbsp; something . To me in my mind set there are two schools of thought over this piece.</p><p>One if I purchased&nbsp; it at a really good price,but that would concern me as well as this is a 3k coin in AU. It to my eyes been cleaned if real. Two I understand&nbsp; how these coins were made a screw press. I A also get that this was very early coinage and the skill level to be exact weren&#039;t&nbsp; always there.</p><p>Having friends who were&nbsp; silversmiths and jewelers I do understand&nbsp; the lost wax process&nbsp; as well as casting from a positive&nbsp; to a negative&nbsp; and producing an item from another.</p><p>On some of the other coins known to be real looking at the feathers&nbsp; I&#039;m&nbsp; not seeing details. Maybe it was that die but that concerns&nbsp; me as again when casting a copy one looses detail .</p><p>I see the weight is correct, and others have posted their views. I hope it is real and there&#039;s&nbsp; no issues .&nbsp; As for me this wouldn&#039;t&nbsp; be a coin I personally&nbsp; would buy if not seen in hand,and even then maybe need to ask someone&nbsp; who&#039;s&nbsp; more familiar&nbsp; with this series .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
