<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 7721671, member: 90666&quot;]Yes. In 2011. Below looks absolutely authentic [ATTACH=full]1323763[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>But it shares dies with the below two fakes, pressed fakes using as a source an incomplete genuine coin with details filled in. Specifically the palm branch behind the desultors is not a palm branch, but like a feather, and the two pieces below look more obviously pressed. Also there are a number of less obvious stylistic differences from genuine types which am not gonna list in case the forger is reading. But replacing palm with feather is an easy catch</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1323764[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>In a collection of 600 theres probably one or two more lurking fakes, but by focusing on coins provenanced before 1980s, when modern pressed fakes started (tho they became common only after 2000) I&#039;m pretty well insulated from modern fakes</p><p><br /></p><p>In 2019 I showed the comparison fakes to the seller and I got an immediate full refund £1350 from the dealer I bought my piece from in 2011. The piece had no prior provenances. I don&#039;t really buy coins with no prior and old provenances anymore..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
