[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2447029, member: 76194"]The fakes are well documented, and the telltale signs are well known. So there should be no nasty surprises to anyone who researches them prior to purchase, and getting an authentic one is fairly easy if buying from a reliable source and if buyer does his due diligence. The example below is a known fake version of the OP's coin: Study it, while I am no expert I do see some key differences between the fake and OP's coin [ATTACH=full]511027[/ATTACH] And a link for OP of known fakes for the type of coin he has, so he can browse through it. [url]http://www.snible.org/coins/black_sea_hoard.html[/url] And compiled by another coin collector, all known faked died for your coin type: [ATTACH=full]511029[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
