<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3702229, member: 75937&quot;]It&#039;s important to realize that a cast of a real coin will be a die match to any of the coins used to strike the exemplar. There are some issues that were very limited and struck with only a few dies. In that case, many genuine coins will be a die-match to the cast forgery.</p><p><br /></p><p>The way the forgery was made is important -- a die match to a known forgery produced by striking with modern dies is very damning. A coin whose flan shape and dies match a cast forgery is very damning.</p><p><br /></p><p>But in the absence of casting bubbles, soft details, a casting seam, or other indications of casting, a die match to a cast forgery isn&#039;t very suspicious. Sending it to NCG wasn&#039;t a bad idea, but I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if it came back as genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
