<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 3281792, member: 57463&quot;]The third coin has copper showing through, which dadams and furryfrog02 pointed out, and which Kentucky said that he did not notice when the coins were in hand. I cite M. H. Crawford, “Plated Coins, False Coins,” <i>Numismatic Chronicle</i>, 1968. Some people will continue to argue - perhaps with epigraphic evidence - that &quot;official&quot; fourees are known from the Roman Empire. Whether that is true or not no one has argued for official fakes from Greece, with one minor exception, the &quot;copper owls&quot; of Athens c. 406 BCE. And I showed why even those are fake fakes, not official fakes in </p><p>“Copper Owls: The Emergency Coinage of Athens 406 BC,” <i>The Celator</i>, Vol. 19, no. 10 (October 2005), p. 6-16: ill., map.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, Kentucky, you bought a misattributed coin. It was not genuine as described. You should return it, if you can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
