<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeffC, post: 3053322, member: 90913&quot;]Thank you for your insight.&nbsp; I was just reading an Agatha Christie book right before reading your comments and 2 points from the book were coincidentally relevant here!&nbsp; In the chapter I read, there was mention of trusting an expert&#039;s feeling that something is not right.&nbsp; Your concern about the 2013 date is indeed warranted.&nbsp; Upon closer examination and comparison, the &quot;1&quot; is not correct.&nbsp; In a geniune coin, the vertical body of the number &quot;1&quot; meets the bottom horizontal serif, in a way that forms two sharp right angles.&nbsp; In the one I posted, there&#039;s a radius on each side.&nbsp; </p><p>The second point from the chapter was about missing the obvious.&nbsp; Here is where I feel very stupid.&nbsp; All the bamboo stems are missing the circular &quot;seams&quot; that separate the entire stem into segments.&nbsp; These nodal marks are present in the real coin.&nbsp; What a pity - because the reverse design of the Temple is SOOOOO much clearer and sharper than the geniune coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
