All suspect.

An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But I would not spend a lot of money on a dealer's hunch.
Show me the evidence that proves that Some bloke with a beard, was shoved in a cave, having been nailed to a wooden cross and having his ribs ventilated by a Roman sword and I'll join your gang of "Restrike" seeking Doubting Thomas's".. Plenty seem to go along with that theory?

This is a Hobby that needs an open mind, not a "One Tracked Variation"...

The badge is mine, I am not attempting to sell it, unlike some dealers who flog fakes and then claim that they are innocent victims of someone else's "Opinion"..

Until I acquired it, I also thought the oval plate versions were FAKE, now I'm uncertain! Is that allowed?
