[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7791964, member: 80952"]Many thanks for spotting and posting this. Without the clear description (although this is irrelevant, as objects like this will most likely be sold again without "disclaimer") I would have not seen any signs of forgery. No casting signs (they do say that they hand strike them). Flow lines visible. Signs of cleaning. And even if it's mentioned that "INTENTIONALLY DIFFERENTIATE IN WEIGHT AND SIZE FROM THE ANCIENT COINS" I checked on OCRE and size and weight are in the standards. What are the red flags for this coin, if any? Is there a way to distinguish them? I know the "know the coin or know the seller" rule but seeing objects like this makes me 99% sure I will not buy (genuine) coins from rare rulers.[/QUOTE]
