[QUOTE="Tanso, post: 3544468, member: 78944"]It is a pity that I missed this very interesting post. I contacted [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/members/idesofmarch01.39084/'][B]IdesOfMarch01[/B][/URL] to warn him that his coin probably was not a fake in my opinion, but of course I can not assure that without checking it in my hands. The biggest mistake is to consider that Coin 2 is from the same dyes than the others, which is not correct. The dyes are very close but not exactly the same. In fact, Amentia showed a coin (supposed to be authentic and sold in the same Auction House, NAC) with the same dyes (same S and A) of the Coin 2, both coins look authentic. There is a third coin of the same dyes in the Museum of London, which it is supposed to be authentic too. Coin 1 has a long pedigree that you can check in the last auction of this month: [url]https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=5927&category=197776&lot=4948794[/url] So, in principle, there is no doubt that Coin 1 is authentic, the strange appearance can be due to pasted or old dyes.
