Apollonia fake coin ?!?!?!
« on: January 10, 2016, 01:34:57 am »
I found this on ebay...

It looks me suspicious and after reading some posts here and two articles, i concluded that it's fake... the crawfish looks like not a crawfish...

I'm not claiming to be that expert but to me it looks like a pressed fake.

Is it a Fourree?  There seem to be breaks in the silver on the reverse?

That large break on the anchor looks very much like a fourree to me.

No reason to remove it if it is real, it is still a post that we can learn from.
