[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 2921538, member: 77077"]The cracked edge has an authentic look to it. Be aware that countries like Afghanistan are big producers of fakes. I would not expect genuine coins to be cheaper there than elsewhere. Most people are well aware of the market value of rare coins, even in remote areas. They may pretend otherwise. That is a classic ploy to fool tourists. I remember reading years ago in one remote country the locals would age their new bronze fakes by feeding them to a goat and then recovering them later with a nice ancient looking patina.[/QUOTE]
