[QUOTE="chrsmat71, post: 3200906, member: 42634"]I picked up two casts fakes turds this year! One is in a group of coins and I missed the pic of it on forums fake list, the other was a very poor photo and I took a chance. Was refunded on the later, and didn't bother asking for a refund for the former, the price I got the other coins in the lot for, I figured I kind of got it for free. The lot coin. Once I got it there were clear red flags, I was immediately suspicious and posted it here. Casting flaws (seams on the surface), it did have an edge seam as well but it was less visible. Turned out to be a cast fake of a coin that was a modern reproduction! (my coin top, "original" reproduction below) [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/screenshot-2018-03-15-13-53-40-png.752748/[/IMG] This one also has a small edge seam and was an almost exact match with a coin I found that had been in a auction a couple years ago.
