Everyone has a view on this & this is mine. I spend many hours on ebay spotting fakes/copies like this one. It does scream out copy. I have 100% ebay record with over 1200 sales, I have only been caught out once, returned it & got my money back. However, even the EXPERTS, I took it to, were 50% sure it was. Enough doubt for me to return it.
You don't need to be an expert, you just need experience.
I will put my money where my mouth is, & if this is authenticated as ancient by a well known establishment (with certificate) then I will paypal the owner $1000. (not some professors inkjet paper)
Don't forget many of us have more experience than the establishment put together! (& I respect & work with these people)
That's as far as this one needed to go.... it's just that obvious. Since my first post I've only stuck around for the fun, not thinking there would be any great revelation.
PS... For the record... the horsey pic is still there for any future poster that wants me to rededicate it.
Silver Searcher, you are not being blocked in any way, shape or form, I enjoy correcting you.

Last night it was very late, well early, and you had just replied about the grey spot on the coin. Not being a 100% with it I thought you were talking about the yellow discoloration, and is what I replied to. Reading your post again and seeing it wasn't correct I deleted it and went to bed. Maybe that is what you had tried to quote but couldn't.
