ccg Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Do you have a scale to weigh it with? The metal looks a bit odd, though that may be the lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I think the odd look is the lighting and incorrect white balance. But, it should be examined by an expert since the photograph has its own problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_idk Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi, I fear it's a fake. Could you describe its edge (or should i say contour?) please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genova Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 The coin is certainly a false. It's true that the odd look is the lighting and incorrect white balance. I saw many fakes of this type, here in Italy. Ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freak Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 if I took up collecting fakes, it might lead to a bigger collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Weight the coin. If it weights exactly 25 grams, it is genuine. For more info http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces31182.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For more info http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces31182.html Correct weight would only be one factor, among many, in determining if an item is authentic.
