<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2779156, member: 56859&quot;]This thread has grown long and some of the later commenters may not have read all of the posts, so I will summarize:</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins shown in the original post, while at first glance seem like &quot;obvious&quot; fakes&quot; (they sure looked that way to me!), have <b>not</b> been demonstrated to be fake.&nbsp; The person commenting in this thread who is in the best position to comment on their authenticity (Barry Murphy) has weighed in and found nothing to indicate fraudulence in the coins.&nbsp; The styles, which seem comical at first, match known authentic styles and dies.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The imaging technique used by the seller is partly to blame for the rush to judgement.&nbsp; Inexperience with the particular coins in question (my inexperience certainly included) also played a role in the pitchfork parade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
