[QUOTE="Egry, post: 7379929, member: 113686"]If this is the same person I’ve seen post coin authentication requests before I feel some comfort in the fact that you are making a genuine attempt to discern the real from the fake.

My feeling is that people on here will assist you to identify the fakes not because they want to help an avid collector confirm their collection is genuine but so to prevent any forgeries from hitting the market and having the coin appear on here in the future.
