Horrible. Compare with this other example from the fake reports from earlier this year.

Well, it's nice to see that Alfred Hitchcock finally got his own coin.

"The Birds" of course.  It's an aviary.

You can't get a stronger confirmation (or condemnation) than that. 

Nice big pics, worthy of another fake coin report, I think.

There has to be more the than one pair of dies, because the fakes above are not from the dies pictured by Mr. Prokopov.

Hmm, it seems you are probably right but it does appear to be from the same hand.

It's not the same dies, but very similar. I think the coin come from the same studio.
