<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2610607, member: 42773&quot;]Well, I examined the OP coin very closely before I sold it, and nothing about the fabric seemed wrong. I&#039;m not sure you can draw any conclusions about the preponderance of off-center obverse strikes in a particular direction, because it appears to have been the style among many Celtic drachms. Perhaps the dies were hinged together in such a way as to produce consistently off-center strikes to the left? As David points out, there are no die pairs among the Naumann coins. I think what we&#039;re seeing is the work of one particular engraver that had a unique, simplistic style. I would guess that if someone was forging these issues, they would not make the blunder of off-center strikes in a particular direction on <i>every</i> coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=49752" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=49752" rel="nofollow">Here is another one</a> that CNG saw fit to approve with the same fabric and dimensions of the OP and Naumann coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that being said. Bing: if owning the coin makes you nervous, send that sucker back![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
