Well... lets hope this guy is good tho I am pretty darn certain it is. This came across my desk today.
I'm sitting at your desk from now on. Very appealing and famous coin. These are faked but yours look good, in my opinion.
I agree it looks good. The value of these depnd on the size and condition. I am not a huge fan of the centering on the vase side myself, so that will lower the value.
Nice new coin, LostDutchman ... => yah, I've got myself a pretty sweet Big-boy example as well (from Batman's collection) ...
Hey Bing, I always consider all of us coin-brothers as being one big, happy team!! ... Plus, you probably have at least 5-times as many coins as I have, so every now and then I'm allowed (and encouraged) to do the ol' "Peacock" strut!! ... => I love ya, my ol' coin comrade!! :hug:
Only if you promise to clean it off while you're there... I'm a clutter bug... And lately it's bothering ME... It's bad.
Notice these are of an alloy that often shows columnar crystallization traces (or full crackling as on Bing's). I see enough on the OP coin that I believe the metal is old and good. I was once told that this characteristic is hard to fake but that was years ago and technology is always favoring fakers. These days I don't trust anything fully but I see nothing here to make me suspicious. Mine:
