[QUOTE="PaddyB, post: 4673849, member: 40017"]I would appreciate thoughts on whether the attached is right or a replica/fake. I know it is difficult to give a definite answer without handling it, but maybe you can spot some obvious indicators one way or another. My concerns are firstly the "It's too good to be true" fear, but also when I found the best match in Sear - S3230 I believe - it indicates obverse Ea (head only) whereas this appears to be Eb, with the bust. Is this enough to confirm a fake? Thank you. [ATTACH=full]1151617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1151618[/ATTACH] There is no casting line around the edges. The blue flares are light from the window, nothing on the coin.[/QUOTE]
