bobh Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited to correct the link ... messed up by the forum software:) LINK - eBay item #230401858581 What do you think? Look at the way the edge isn't completely round, and the reverse has very little detail in some parts, more in others (e.g. the ox looks like it was "melted"). Can this be attributed to weak strike? Is it typical for this series? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have purchased coins from this seller before and I seriously doubt he is selling "replicas", in fact the only bad thing I can say about him is that sometimes he overgrades ever so slightly. I'm fairly sure this coin is real, maybe just a weak strike as you mentioned, though it looks pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I took the Summer Seminar class on this, and I don't see any red flags (I also don't see large pictures). But it looks ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I had to edit the original post ... somehow the link started to point to a totally different auction! There seems to be some kind of script which runs on this server and messes with the eBay links a while after they are posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
