<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pprp, post: 7635521, member: 94602&quot;]Since you did look in forgery network, you should have condemned the coin yourself without asking the opinion of the other &quot;industry professional&quot; who must be as expert as the one who sold you the coin in via del babuino. The coin is fake but not for the reasons they told you&nbsp; There is nothing wrong with the style of the claws and tail and nothing random was added. Have a look again at the bulletin and you can read the reasons they condemned it. As I have said in the past, know the coin and hardly trust anyone but yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313395[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&quot;<i>Struck from modern dies. The obverse die is too large and flat. Generally, the letters in the original are confidently, but lightly made; in the counterfeit die they are recut and have a thicker, less graceful, more regular appearnce. Note the letter N; it is recut with the vertical strokes nearly the same length in the counterfeit; on the original the left stroke id only half as long as the right one. The head and neck of the bird have been touched up in the new die and have become slimmer in the process. The reverse incuse is deeper than on any of the published speciments of this die. The die break on the edge of the incuse below the crab which occurs on all these specimens has been tooled off in the counterfeit die.
