20 Greek Drachma - Fake ?

4 сообщений
Hi

I just got this:




What worries me about it is a triangular pinhole to the right of the head of the horse. It looks like a hole through the silver coating that shows some darker metal inside. It might just be a pinhole full of dirt (the coin is worn and dirty)...
The writing on the edge of the coin is correct but very worn.
I don't have decimal scales to weigh it, but my crap scale says 7 grams which is close. Also, it's not magnetic.

Are there any known fakes for this coin ?

Are there any other indicators that it might be fake ?
I don't see any reason why this coin would be fake, it looks legit.

It looks ok to me. If you could post a larger picture, we can be more sure lol!
Whew, i'm glad it's not fake !

I have very few silver coins and i'm really not good at spotting fakes other than by plain methods like measuring diameter/weight/magnetism. Never could find a comprehensive guide online for other signs. I only look for known fakes and compare what i have to the pics i find online.

Thanks guys :)
