<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3608329, member: 76194&quot;]I just read a 30+ page study on Beast&#039;s coin. The authors concluded it is real, though readily admit it could be a modern forgery struck on an old flan, though they conclude it&#039;s unlikely someone would bother with repatinating the coin so well if they just meant to make a quick buck online. Not sure how much I agree with that finding.</p><p><br /></p><p>My concern is that the coin and the 2012 coin both appeared on the internet and there is no history or provenance whatsoever. They just pop up from nowhere. So while I see how the experts could determine the coin is real, abcent a well documented find of another there will always be some doubt be in my mind whether it isn&#039;t a modern die struck on an ancient flan and expertly patinated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
