<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 2604291, member: 82549"]I'm not so sure. I don't know anything about the second coin, so I'll confine my argument to the first. I think what appears to be mushy detail is just a result of wear. If you look at where the top of Zues' right forearm meets the background, it seems like a pretty sharp contact. The same with Appolo's nose on the obverse. It doesn't confirm that the coin is original, but I don't think you have cause to just dismiss it out of hand, either. Where do you see casting bubbles?</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, thanks for the nice high resolution photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
