I wait for Barry Murphy to offer his view, but in fact the only unknown parameter for me is whether the committee which condemned the coin based on stylistic differences changed afterwards their opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>MDC is new auctioneer and I guess they relied on the ROMA provenance. The SNG ANS 257 is the most common and quite convincing fake circulating.

This is really non-forgivable especially since ROMA has asked acsearch to disable comments for their auction; if I remember well it was already tagged there as fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
