<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3313889, member: 82549"]It is very unlikely that they are fourrees. That would be easily detectable by the weight. But saying that they are not fourrees is not the same as saying that they are genuine. If you're concerned about them being counterfeit, there are several places you can check to see if it is a known fake. Here's just a couple:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/index.php?cat=5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/index.php?cat=5" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/index.php?cat=5</a></p><p><a href="http://forgerynetwork.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forgerynetwork.com/" rel="nofollow">http://forgerynetwork.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The first one looks good to me. The second one has some weirdness in the obverse border, but that could be just strike issues. Anyway, you're better off referring to the experts (above) than relying on my opinions. Here's another place to begin learning about fakes:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/numis/fakes.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/numis/fakes.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/numis/fakes.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
