Gela didrachm (fake or real)
« on: July 24, 2022, 09:48:59 am »
Hello

I'm very new to coin collecting, and i found this coin yesterday at a garage sale.
Can someone verify if it is real?

Thanks in advance!

IMHO fake

Especially on the back you can see where the original template ended. But the reproduction is larger and round.

it is wothless trash, a bad transfer die fakes made from a pewter Antiquanova replica.
You can find these fakes very often very cheap on ebay often even offered as fakes.
Real antiquanova replicas would be worth a little bit of money, if it would be a real antiquanova pewter replica maybe 5-10 Euro, because he has stopped selling replicas meanwhile.
