The people that make these fakes do that (or read the responses when others ask) to see how they can improve their presentation.</p><p>3- No offense ment here. I myself had to take a step back early on, if you really couldn't tell how fake this looks then you are surely going to get ripped off BIG time looking for a "good deal". It is better to start with less expensive coins (and yes you will come across fakes. But isn't it better to get fooled on a $20 bronze then a $200 or $2,000 coin like the op coin would be if real). </p><p><br /></p><p>I say all this not to chastise but rather to educate.
