<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2867270, member: 10461&quot;]I agree.&nbsp; This Portuguese 50c does seem an odd coin to fake, though that has not stopped the Chinese workshops from creating such things (i.e., copies of coin types that would be worth little more than the replicas themselves).</p><p><br /></p><p>However, though [USER=25270]@Hiddendragon[/USER]&#039;s coin initially looked a tiny bit &quot;off&quot; to me, mostly due to the font, I <i>did</i> change my mind and <i>do</i> now consider it to be authentic.&nbsp; I will add that I was unfamiliar with this specific type and denomination, though I do have some familiarity with other Portuguese types of this era, and like the designs very much.&nbsp; In fact, since some are so affordable in high grade, I think I might even add one to my Eclectic Box; who knows?</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=32000]@jlblonde[/USER] - I beg to differ - methinks thy coin doth indeed have a little bit of CircCam contrast goin&#039; on.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS- what was the issue with the Austro-Hungarian coins?&nbsp; Those look completely normal to me, though I&#039;m seeing all this on a tiny cellphone screen at the moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
