I believe the company is Kupfer, but they were not made to deceive (which of course doesn't mean that thieves haven't tried to pass them off as authentic)... [ATTACH=full]617933[/ATTACH] Of the <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=trifollaro+roger+i&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&currency=usd&thesaurus=1&order=0&company=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=trifollaro+roger+i&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&currency=usd&thesaurus=1&order=0&company=" rel="nofollow">28 coins listed on acsearch</a>, only a couple come close to the level of detail and centering found in the replicas. Because of the wear and/or uneven strike on my specimen, I'm reasonably assured of its authenticity. It also exhibits no signs of casting, and appropriate style. The reason I haven't included in my auctions yet is that I was concerned about the little green spots on the obverse, but I've had the coin for several months now, and it shows no signs of BD. Also, the previous owner, who I trust, assures me that he's owned the coin for many years with no problems. So I'm ready to declare it stable.[/QUOTE]
