<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2486344, member: 24314&quot;]I agree with EVERYTHING&nbsp; in this post and ALL the reasons. Unfortunately, in order to tell if a &quot;well-made&quot; and deceptive coin is a fake, you must know what the genuine coin looks like! As I wrote above, having never seen one before - I don&#039;t. For example, are they all this thick?</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, as [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] wrote, &quot;style&quot; is very important for grading and authenticating ancients.&nbsp; Again, I have no clue as to the correct appearance of these coins, so <span style="color: #b300b3">for now</span>, w/o looking on the Internet to find more than the one attractive coin that was posted above - I&#039;m still going to GUESS the OP&#039;s coin is genuine but crude.&nbsp; And, good or bad, I also believe 100% it is a struck piece which would account for the fissures. Thus taking away one of the reasons my &quot;gut&quot; said genuine in the first place.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
