<p>[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 4933505, member: 75641"][USER=82549]@gsimonel[/USER] You are actually on the right track, even if inadvertently. If you look at the exergue, a couple of things stand out. The delta for example is a near perfect triangle. Most deltas I have seen look like the example in @maridvnvm’s post above, with the corners blunted, with a small hash across etc. Also, the exegural line it self along with the alignment of the letters and wreath in the exergue are very straight which is unusual. Finally, the wreath in the center is so well executed that it begs for attention. Most I have are like tiny knots with nowhere near that level of detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I’ve been burned by fakes before too because I realized or found out a little too late something that others picked up on right away. It happens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
