<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 3196344, member: 44210"]I wholeheartedly agree, if its not a blatant fake then yeah it can get complicated determining authenticity based on internet photos alone. I'm glad you had it checked out and that it was given the okay. If yours and the Savoca coins are fake then they are very convincing ones; had you shown me yours to me a few years ago I don't think I would have questioned it at all. Im not 100% that your coin is fake, but considering my past experience and what I've been told, if offered a similar example I would pass. That's just me though. If Savoca hadn't sold another of the exact same style in April as the one I almost won, then I'd be a little more convinced. I'm not an expert either so I always consult with others if I'm doubtful, the coin is very rare, or both. Lets try and get [USER=76544]@Brian Bucklan[/USER] in here and get his opinion on it. Perhaps [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] can give his thoughts on it as well?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
