3 Pauls I would not buy

Too many things that look false IMO (and the opinion of some of my collectors friends in the US and Europe). Any opinions here?

Why 1st one fake? It's more difficult with this one

I doubt that the first one is fake, but agree that the second and third examples appear to be from the same forger.

Something seems a little off about the first one to me. I can't say for sure that it's bad, but I wouldn't buy it.

Just now seeing this.

All three are no good. The first is the best effort, but not good. The issues come down to formation, spacing, size, and, to some extent, slant. The second two have the same problems but the problems are magnified.

It looks like there's a chance that all three were done by the same guy. There's one characteristic that I base that on. In the efforts of not helping someone make them better in the future, I'll leave it at that.

Same goes for me - and i do wonder how someone who claims to have knowledge and who is accepted by the auction house could have such opinion and write a full COA for these items...
