<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2604468, member: 77077&quot;]I am sure many of you remember this turkey, a fake I purchased early in 2016.&nbsp; Definitely my worst coin purchase of 2016.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did get my money back, returned the coin, which a forum member saw in an European auction a few months later. I never asked Pars Coins, who sold it to me, who they returned it to so we know who tried to pass it on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think people learned something about how the (should be) random flaws in the original show up exactly the same in the copies when made with transfer dies. The corrosion hole in the body of the triton shows up on all the copies.&nbsp; The eye of the eagle is rendered completely wrong. This was struck on what looks like a genuine ancient bronze. Comparing this to many other online examples shows the pattern of repeated holes and corrosion that should be random.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]569051[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Attention forgers: the Internet has many eyes and a long memory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here it is again in all its fake glory.&nbsp; There are only 3 real examples of this coin and many, many fake ones, so be safe and don&#039;t buy one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll stop beating this dead horse now.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
