A strange serie of coins
« on: October 14, 2020, 09:41:12 am »
Hello,

I have three coins to show you. The two first are from same obverse die.. i dont like their allure:
https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=417171
https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3687426

the third coin is very strange:
https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5993701

The mark is:

X
XI :Greek_Gamma:

therefore 21,5 instead of 12.5... the mint mark is SM(N/X)B... Is that coin genuine? The crown look added. Im troubled because many and even the majority of Martinian's coins are tooled by sellers and often on hairs and crown.. I think anyway that the coin is genuine but just tooled.

Here's another couple of specimens with same X/XI :gammavar:. error. First, ex. eBay, second ex. Goldberg 72.

The Goldberg "X" almost looks like an "I" with exagerated serifs, but if you zoom in it is an "X".

Obviously there are fake Martianians, but which are real and which are fake I don't know ...
