[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 7788089, member: 111387"]Whew, I thought it was the first coin pictured when I cursorily started to read the OP, and I was thinking: "Man oh man, that one looks pretty legit to me". I felt better learning that it is indeed legit, and it's a pretty nice coin at that. Yeah, that gunk on the reverse of the (fake)coin in question is a major flag. What the hell is that? Bondo?? Silly Putty??? I've yet to see any concretion with that sort of appearance on any other coin. As for the style, the hair looks way too busy, and the cheekbone, brow and nose all look soft and pudgy. It's overall fabric makes me skeptical. I've been looking at this type quite a bunch in recent times, as it's one that's on my short list of 'wanting to acquire'. That is, if a coin featuring Philetairos doesn't beat it to the punch. Thanks for posting this OP. Naumann needs to get their act together and pull the coin.[/QUOTE]
