G'day all!
I am looking to buy this coin, but I am always getting suspicious when older coins are in too good condition. So what I'm wondering is if this coin really is authentic, or if it's a replica/copy. Cleaned?
A bonus woukd be if anyone could help me with it's origin. I have my suspicion, but I don't want to say too much.
Any help or additional info are highly appreciated.
Reported dimentions:
Diameter: 20.02 mm
Weight: 3.31 gr
If it said "COPY" as clearly as on those pictures, yes. I found these on an auction site put out by an Antiquities and Eastern Pottery House.
I've learned that the first one is a common fake coin, but the second one I'm still unsure about. But it seems like it's a fake too, right?
If you, or someone else, can confirm this I could inform then that it's fake as well.
You can see that the details (e.g. the way they are slightly off-centered) are the same. The only difference is in the word copy, but I believe if they made such copies, nothing prevents them to do a variant without this word.
The only possibility is that you found an original "mother coin" foe all these fakes, but I don't believe in this. The coins on your photos look like fakes

Yes, I do see it and I belive it's a fake too. I just need some solid proof to give to the seller. S/he has removed the auction of the first coin, after I provided informtion that it was a fake. Now I need to certified that the other is a fake too - Before someone buys it. And if, against all odds, it's not a fake, then I want it.
