[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2610016, member: 44316"]Can someone explain why all examples of the OP type are off-center in exactly the same way? I wrote the CoinForgeryDiscusionList about them in March 2012 after having seen many. Then in June 2012 I wrote "Long ago I was noticing exactly the same off-centering of all examples. I thought that might mean they were modern copies, but I didn't (and still don't) know enough about Celtic to condemn them on any other grounds. So, I kept watching. Now, many (30?) examples later they still *all* have this same off-centering, although some have two dots outside the beading. It is time for me to bring this to the attention of our group. I solicit additional thoughts." Most were on eBay and only one of the links I had still works: [url]https://www.ma-shops.de/poinsignon/item.php5?id=43265&lang=en&PHPSESSID=367ea8ea47ff974616dfcbfa85fa218f[/url] In my opinion this off-centering common to all examples is a bad sign. Can anyone explain it?[/QUOTE]
