[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 5336449, member: 80952"]Thank you all. Regarding Mr Goldsborough's article, what I can say is that in these cases you just cannot be sure - he also mentioned he cannot say he's certain. This is why I always appreciate a different opinion - [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] - I am glad when I see cases like you described, and even if in my particular case I don't think I will clarify the situation, I am glad it is not quite a die match, as my coin was marked as fake, die match, on a different place. [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] - thank you and once again thanks for creating the initial thread I am not sure about what I will decide about returning it - if I am not sure if it's a fake, I will prefer to keep it... I think. [USER=89687]@ominus1[/USER] - that is my exact opinion about the subject :) [USER=115035]@DiomedesofArgos[/USER] - good spot, that one is even more obvious than what I spotted, so this proves that ... this is not a die match with a coin that is considered a fake but one cannot guarantee that it is really a fake. Not much but at least not a clear verdict. At least I can say for sure that ... my example cannot unanimously be considered a fake. I think I will choose to avoid any Apollonia Pontica drachm unless a seller provides a clear provenance date, let's say something before 1960-70, but this is somewhat unlikely.[/QUOTE]
