<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2935723, member: 75525&quot;]Interesting post [USER=74431]@hoth2[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A quick look at the coin made me wonder about authenticity also. I assume Vagi is enough of an expert to know, but the 20 second look he gave the coin was too quick in my mind (but fit the tv show time). I do not like the surfaces of the coin. That does say it is not real, but they look bad to me. The coin looks to be an obverse (but not reverse) die match for the one Kuenker sold in 2007. Some obverse issues (die corrosion or wear) give Brutus a front hair wave and a dot at his forehead on both coins, but the flow lines look different on the Kuenker coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>nice research Rich!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]713805[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]713806[/ATTACH] </p><p>phone pics of video here</p><p>[ATTACH=full]713823[/ATTACH] </p><p>pic from acsearch, Kuenker 2007</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin looks better than the &quot;ancient&quot; fake EID MAR I bought this year. Mine does not match any of the dies I have seen on acsearch, wildwinds, CNG or Cahn. FYI - I had mine tested for metal content and it looks like it could be ancient (or produced on an ancient coin), the gold content is too high for a modern coin.</p><p>[ATTACH]713807[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]713808[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
