vikingwarrior Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Hello all,What do you think of this coin, fake or authentic?I have my concern, it seem very crude...Thank you in advance VW Quote
TomGoodheart Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It just doesn't have the 'look' of a hammered coin. It's difficult to explain but there's a lack of crispness to the detail that doesn't seem like the result of either a weak strike or wear. The letters and design are .. rounder .. in profile than I would expect.Not authentic is my feeling. Probably modern. Quote
Pieces_of_History Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 It's an incredibly smooth and lightly toned coin for a Medieval hammered piece... Quote
