<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3224468, member: 74282&quot;]I concur with the other opinions that this is a fake. I&#039;ve seen a few of these from this same die pair. Thankfully the forger made a few errors that make this stand out even from photos alone if you know what to look for. One surefire sign here is the absence of the quadriga wheel and the weird way the design is cut off before the line border starts at 7-8 o&#039;clock on the reverse. This is an area where the forger transferred the design and the cut a new border without engraving the actual portion of the reverse design that was off flan on the host coin. These coins have in some cases made it through major dealers unfortunately. <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3567507" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3567507" rel="nofollow">Here&#039;s</a> one sold a couple years back by Bertolami and I&#039;ve seen an example on Vcoins some time ago as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: actually the Bertolami example might be the exact same coin that OP posted. At any rate, still a forgery[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
