[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2440104, member: 24314"]I'm going to add my 2 cents as I love :eggface:. It comes w/the learning process. IMHO, that coin looks like something crude enough to be a counterfeit made 50 years ago! While I respect the three experts and know one of them, that coin should be sent to the British Museum. My opinion as an unknown poster should go in one ear and out the other BUT in my defense, on two occasions in the 1980's, ancients that I condemned as forgeries (against the opinion of many well regarded ancient dealers of the caliber that attends the NYI) after examining them with a stereo microscope were sent to the British museum and condemned as very deceptive "new" counterfeits. Just saying... I don't authenticate ancients by photos but I see more "bad" than "good" on this piece and chances are it would "fall apart" if I examined it closely.[/QUOTE]
