<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hobbyist, post: 681150, member: 11221&quot;]Hi farmer. Thank you.:smile</p><p><br /></p><p>As you&#039;ve said, the detail on the edge is the most difficult to recreate. If this is fake, I really don&#039;t understand why go such lengths to forge an ordinary coin? As Pablo Soy said, &quot;On the other hand, if it were a fake coin, the faker would have taken a lot of trouble to make it out of silver or a combination of metals that looks the same and weights the same (original coins are also around 27 grams), he would have made a fantastic job just to make a fake coin of a type that is not so expensive or sought by collectors... And then comitts the silly mistake of that rim... mmmh!&quot;:smile</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I&#039;ve been looking at the edge of some other ferdins I see, and I still see the &quot;splitting&quot; on the edge. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> One more thing is I have never come across any other specimen aside from the less appealing coin posted on heritage or the spanish site.&nbsp; So, the more I become confused. The local collector said the same thing, &quot;why would this less expensive coin be faked? It would cost more creating it.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
