<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 8048965, member: 44106&quot;]Not to pile on to everyone else&#039;s comments, but the coin is a fake not just from a stylistic point of view (the head looks extremely crude - remember, this is a time from the height of archaic portraiture), but also from the surfaces of the coin, which appear a little to flat and even. On your genuine example, the coin surfaces are rough and slightly curved, while on the fake they are flat with no dings, pock marks, or other signs of use. It makes it seem like the fake was pressed rather than struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
