<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3228201, member: 19463&quot;]There are many fakes we can tell are fake from photos because they are an exact match for other coins previously condemned as fake when identified by someone who had the coin in hand.&nbsp; There are also fakes that will look perfectly fine in photos but non-experts like us do not have the experience to recognize from the resources we have checked.&nbsp; These coins come in quite a variety of styles and minor details so it is not as simple as people might hope. Note from the pictures above that some coins differ as to which head (right or left) is inverted.&nbsp; Below is one where the dolphin is swimming the opposite direction.&nbsp; Does that make you think some of these are fakes? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]842340[/ATTACH] </p><p>Did I make a mistake when I bought this coin?&nbsp; It came from CNG.&nbsp; This takes us back to the same old story.&nbsp; At $12.99 each, the worst evidence we have is why someone is selling $100 coins for so little.&nbsp; Fake is one good answer.&nbsp; Stolen is a possibility.&nbsp; I hope your coins are &#039;good&#039; in every respect but buying coins for a small fraction of the going price is a lot like buying lottery tickets.&nbsp; Once in a while you win.&nbsp; Most of the time you don&#039;t. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, these also come in barbarous but, I believe, ancient.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is a 1/4 stater.
