<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brassnautilus, post: 2128416, member: 74300&quot;]So it actually had reasonable weight.</p><p>Here are some additional info I&#039;ve gathered from the seller, not that they are useful...</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller claimed the coins (he listed a few, I bookmarked 3) were from a private collection and authentic, which suggests that they came from an older collection and not newly created/purchased.</p><p><br /></p><p>He also listed these 2 coins from presumably the same collection, which is kinda strange in their own way. These 2 coins looked almost identical. Almost because they were actually off 2 different dies... Details on the palm leaf and letters were slightly different (letter B for example), but almost seemed the two dies were carved by the same person. Actually, more like one die, which was altered to produce the other copy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Normally I would had thought one was a copy. What&#039;s the chance of a copy being so close to real, yet with such small differences though?</p><p>On other hand, if they were both genuine, what&#039;s the chance of 2 coins from dies made by the same person, going separate ways more than 2 millenniums ago, to end up in the same hands again...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i60.tinypic.com/63r2w3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i58.tinypic.com/2yvrmoi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i61.tinypic.com/jqgvgh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i62.tinypic.com/a4x26t.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i59.tinypic.com/9aqsfs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i62.tinypic.com/6praqd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
