[QUOTE="Pravda, post: 3089924, member: 95622"]It can not be impurities of metal! This areas where the casting pimples are have been smoothed on the host. This casting pimples on the fake have such a high hight that that they could not been hidden under the authentic smoothed patina of the authentic host. Since when does stripping coins add material that exactly look like casting pearls? I have never seen impurities that looked like casting pimples. The authentic Leu host and the cast fake, share the same flan shape, centering, wear and corrosion (M on the obverse), it is impossible that two ancient coins from same dies have so much in common. How does the edge look like? The details are much softer on cast fake for example dots of dotted border + casting pimples and casting defect (red arrow on picture).[/QUOTE]
