Even the ancient Greeks counterfeited money to be spent. There were no collectors that I know of when the Phoenicians counterfeited my "Athenian"...
It's possible it was faked back in 1949 or shortly thereafter in order to spend it, just as recently Britain has had a lot of fake pounds to...
Not only will they raise their prices, but they will continue to create rarities to keep the prices up, such as the gold eagles marked with V75 in...
I don't have a lot of bulls on coins. This is my earliest, with a bull on the right facing a lion on the left. Lydia, Croesus trihemiobol,...
