<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1180847, member: 19463&quot;]We all have our own opinions based of various levels of reason.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t suspect them of being casts because I consider the style odd for what they purport to be and are more likely modern die pressed fakes.&nbsp; If there are bubbles, I suppose they could be casts from fake originals.&nbsp; The photos make them look rather thin in fabric. I don&#039;t like the way Diana fits on the flan but I have not researched enough to make a worthwhile pronouncement. The Judean looks particularly coarse. If these coins were good, they would be worth several thousand dollars and the place to have them expertized is not on an amateur online forum like this but by a genuine expert in the business of trading in high end coins.&nbsp; Not knowing where they came from but judging from what I see, I would say none have enough chance of being good that I would spend the postage mailing them in for certification.&nbsp; It is always possible to be fooled by photos and my collection level does not allow me frequent handling of any of these.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m back to the old tough love song:&nbsp; If you buy a $1000 coin for $100; you get what you deserve.&nbsp; If you buy a $1000 coin from a dealer that does not know more about these than I do so you feel the need to ask here; you get what you deserve.&nbsp; If you inherited such coins from a grandpa who didn&#039;t tell you they were worth money....&nbsp; None of us like to act too certain and later be proven wrong but I agree with Siberian Man.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
