<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RabidRick, post: 1988546, member: 37868&quot;]I looked through some <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/thumbnails.php?album=20" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/thumbnails.php?album=20" rel="nofollow">counterfeit dies</a> and don&#039;t se it, but with that coin there are MANY. I think they debsaed their currency then but 10.3 sounds unreasonable. It could always be an older counterfeit which might have collector&#039;s value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was it attributed, at least? They should give references when posting something like that, for the period, localtion, mint, die, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to test the metal composition some people gave me good ideas. You could go to a jewler or pawn shop and most have a tool that will tell you the metal composition. Otherwise, universities might do it for free if you go in and ask. I&#039;m not sure if they do a spectral analysis or what, but I woud guess that would be the case (though I&#039;m not sure if that would only determine the outside of the metal). I didn&#039;t believe that at first but my brother was a material chem major and he said people do it all the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
