<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 27419, member: 112&quot;]Proof coins of the 1863 10 lire have been reported but not confirmed - and I looked in all my books, including the one satootoko suggested. But not finding a coin in the books does not mean it does not exist or that it is not genuine. I own a couple myself that you won&#039;t find in any book.</p><p><br /></p><p>But with this coin I do not think that is the case. I think this coin is a counterfeit that was manufactured in order to try and fool somebody into thinking it is one of the unconfirmed Proofs. My reasons are these - there are minor differences in the obverse design besides the bust facing right. This perhaps I could accept. But the reverse is completely different and one that was not used until 20 yrs later for a different ruler entirely. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry - but I do not think this coin is genuine&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
