[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 4081952, member: 91461"]A while ago I had a CT pal PM me that my AR Macedonian shield coin was one that was commonly faked and to compare for duplicates that it looked like, and that would prove its a modern forgery. I thought I was reasonably in the clear as none of the posted forgeries I looked through matched mine... And then I just came across this in an auction. Here's my coin and then their coin: [ATTACH=full]1064507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1064506[/ATTACH] I don't think they are exact. But I'm no expert and they do look close. Do these set off red flags for any of you? Or could this be a die match that helps prove my coins authenticity? Or something else entirely? I really would like to know whether my coin is legit or not. Any help here is appreciated.:) Ps, sorry for the "real or fake thread":shame: I don't know who "coined" the phrase, "when there's doubt there's doubt" but I use it often and would like to remove the doubt either way it turns out[/QUOTE]
