Drusus Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I would wager my first born that coin is fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I would wager my first born that coin is fake The metal of the first is unusual as is the appearance. But the difference in weight is significant so I'm suspicious. It looks more like a Hans Krauwinkel-esque style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
