<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2233944, member: 19463"]Fakes of these coins are struck from fake dies and have fooled many people more skilled than I until someone figures out the key. Medoraman was right on about the ridges around the eye holes on the Messembria helmet. Seams are a sign of casts and have no relevance here. I know there are experts who recognize all these fakes from style. I don't. I do not have the Apollonia fake but believe the face has a more vacant stare than real ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
