<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lolli, post: 3342151, member: 96900&quot;]The reverse die is almost completely identical (possibly completely identical and pictures are misleading), this means that this coins must be related to each other. And some differences can be from striking and different die state, too.</p><p>Look at the OWL,&nbsp; half moon, the beak of the owl, the feets etc, the missing berry.</p><p>Such accordances can not be a coincidence!</p><p>Free hand copies of coins always show significant differences, which are not visible here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe you can explain me why the owl is almost the same or completely the same on your coin and the Beirut fakes?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am curious and still learning ^^</p><p><br /></p><p>I never said that your coin must be fake but it is at least connected to this fakes.</p><p>And no one is perfect even the best can make mistakes, all experts have their weakness if it comes to coins they are not familiar with.</p><p>I do not like the short and round flan and the &quot;toning&quot; and the style but we are here talking about a possibly ancient eastern imitation so they can look different than normal Athen tetradrachms.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can take from every authentic coin impression and then produces fakes with them. it is possibly that an impression of such an authentic eastern imitation tetradrachm from the same dies as your coin was used to produce this Beirut fakes.</p><p><br /></p><p>That a coin is related to fakes is not affecting authenticity but it means that the authenticity must be chekced very carefully!</p><p><br /></p><p>If proven authentic coins from your dies or die linked to your coin would be known it would speak for authenticity.
