<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 906196, member: 9204&quot;]Thank you, tenacious. I tend to avoid the coinage of Alexander - because of its vastness, I find it to be somewhat pedestrian and repetitive. I was at first willing to dismiss the odd style as a product of a mint that I was unfamiliar with, but when I checked Price for the countermark, there weren&#039;t even any listed in Aramaic. I couldn&#039;t make out the control mark, so I couldn&#039;t check the style. Since its from a known fake seller, that makes it a HUGE problem coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Strangely, there&#039;s nothing listed in the Fake Galleries that is close to this style. Certainly post this at Forvm to see what they say, but I think I know what the answer will be. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t be terribly bothered by it, so long as you get your money back. If I had seen this coin on its own, I probably would have taken it for genuine. This should be a good lesson to research BOTH the coin and the seller before buying! (And if you&#039;re new, best not to buy widely counterfeited types)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
