RW Julian Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Probably you think that you smartest and best specialist. Just to your knowledge, the coin is absolutelly real Some problems with this “coin:” Obverse – Legend at lower right too close to bust Hair treatment poorly done Rays at top incorrectly done Reverse – Base of monument fails to reach edge of coin at lower left Lower cross at top too long And so on. It is a fake, period. RWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RW Julian Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 A specimen from the exact same dies is currently being offered on eBay, by a seller from Malta, as a replica: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=370171622001 RWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Agreed with the above - not genuine. If gayricci wishes to dispute against everyone, I want to know how he determines it is to be genuine. P.S. google the term "RW Julian" and you might want to back off.

RW Julian Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 This “coin” is being offered again, by the same seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=380113769494 His first try got bids as high as $1,395 but he apparently thinks that a $5 fake is worth more than that.
