I believe the dies used on this legitimate Carisius Moneta coin are also the same dies associated with the counterfeit. So the counterfeits do...
Here we are a year later and I’m still trying to get my hands on a raw counterfeit to keep with this slabbed coin for comparison. There’s one...
My Moneta Carisius with bank mark. Either it’s the source coin for all the counterfeits out there, or a good looking fake in itself. [ATTACH]...

I picked up this Caracalla denarius at the Marietta show last week. At the time I didn’t even entertain the thought of cleaning it because I never...
Wow, that cleaned up nicely. You did a great job. Hope you get good news on authenticity.
Unnecessary fees frustrate me. Leu has a "bank wire" charge even though I'm paying via PayPal. I must be doing something wrong.
I wish these reports would detail more of the “soft spots” of the market. Those will enable my buying opportunities and my budget will thank them.
Do you remember what year that hoard was originally discovered?
I saw a lot of great exhibits at the MET. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That’s not the first complaint I’ve seen regarding EH. I believe there’s a thread about them here though they went unnamed in it. Happy Birthday...
