[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2498026, member: 24314"]While Mr. Lorenzo is the counterfeit expert :bookworm: around here; I've never seen a crown sized coin (except for 8 Rls) that looked as obviously counterfeit as your coin. Since you don't wish to find out for sure, save your authentication money and offer it to a few foreign coin dealers. If they offer a price, it may be authentic. If they say they don't need one at the moment or question if it is genuine, it probably is not. :( IMHO, the edge of a coin is one of the hardest parts to fake. Much of the skill that was used to make edges on the coins in JL's field of expertise has been lost until the more modern times we are in.[/QUOTE]
