<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3272620, member: 72790&quot;]Yes, indeed and I am very glad to get that expert opinion The reason why I asked what he had detected is that I looked at the coin and saw no signs of casting and no seam around the edge of the flan and since I had no means of weighing the coin I concluded that despite its odd ball features, it was likely genuine. This method of faking a genuine coin by &quot;pressing&quot; is new to me and I will have to learn to look for signs of it. The vertical tears being mentioned looked to me like some of the flan cracks frequently found on genuine double denarii of the Third Century emperors. Are there some obvious signs to look for in a &quot;pressed&quot; counterfeit that others have learned to look for? Thanks, again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
