Same seller as my last 3 coin posts. With this one I will nominate Ebay seller urielkyriakou as a fake seller. I believe this die match is on the Forgery network.
If I get concurrence I'll start adding his other fakes to the fake reports.

I would like to nominate this seller again. Didn't get a response last time. He sells many many fakes mixed with very few real coins. I have posted dozens of his coins in the fakes that match known dies.

The seller is urielkyriakou

Hello,

I'm curious: what was the technique used to make this fake? Modern dies?

Thanks!

Here is one of the matches from the FN. It says modern cast forgery. Not sure how the cracks are being produced if it's cast.

What cracks?
The top coin looks pressed - but you would need to see the edge to be sure.

The bottom may well be a pressure cast, subsequently knocked about.

A nomination needs a link to the seller's item list on eBay.
