<p>[QUOTE="jb_depew, post: 3979840, member: 88227"]This pendant arrived in the mail today, which I picked up for twelve bucks at auction. I believe it's a struck counterfeit Syracusan tetradrachm of <a href="https://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=1592068&AucID=3359&Lot=1019&Val=66ea7c12482b70f9d06d99e98d648525" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=1592068&AucID=3359&Lot=1019&Val=66ea7c12482b70f9d06d99e98d648525" rel="nofollow">this type (SNG ANS 246)</a>. I believe a real one would weigh over 17 grams, while this one is 14.77 grams while still inside the .900 silver setting. The obverse die seems pretty close to <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pos=112" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pos=112" rel="nofollow">this fake</a> recorded by [USER=31620]@maridvnvm[/USER] in Forum's fake coin database.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/QNYOrWW.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/d9tvpcV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I think it's still really beautiful and well worth the price of a cheeseburger.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post anything relevant, like fake coin jewelry, cheeseburgers, or anything else![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
