[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2225729, member: 71510"]Thank you Taxidermist. I'm interested in why you say they don't look right. To me the date looks very comparable in font, script and minting. The part that concerns me is the font type in the writing - particularly ZLOTYCH. It could be that the coin I've got for comparison is worn and the gold has been flattened a bit, or it could be a reproduction. If it's a rarity, there's obviously a high chance of it. When I look at a comparable PCGS sample - I see the font being just a bit flatter and wider than what I am showing in my pictures. Mind you, I'm trying to help someone else that has no trust of anyone - let alone TPG's (who ironically I'd trust first). I am trying to figure out if it's authentic and worth the cost of sending in, or if we're just dealing with a fake/replica. I won't get to see the coin in person until mid-Oct, so I have some time for homework.[/QUOTE]
