<p>[QUOTE="canudigit, post: 24694741, member: 111193"]I had this piece handed down to me in 1973 when my Grandfather passed. He was not a coin collector , but did have some pretty neat old US and German coins kicking around - and this oddball. Looked at it a zillion times - still not sure if it's a knockoff or not. Ancients are a weak department for me, but I have seen some pretty bad cast fakes. Maybe this is a decent fake? I'd be shocked if it were authentic, and you experts are about to let me know once and for all! It for sure is solid silver - weighs 13 grams - out of round 1 1/16th x 7/8. I included some edge shots thinking that would help. Either way it's a keeper since family is attached. I appreciate your time and giving of your valuable knowledge!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1576213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576222[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576221[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1576219[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
