<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2458724, member: 76111&quot;]There is no definitive website that I know of.&nbsp; Forvm is a very good resource IMO.&nbsp; There is also ForgeryNetwork: <u><a href="http://www.forgerynetwork.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forgerynetwork.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.forgerynetwork.com/</a></u></p><p><br /></p><p>As we&#039;ve seen on this thread, everyone wants to fancy themselves an expert on ancient forgeries.&nbsp; One thing that I know for certain is that 100% of everyone make mistakes when it comes to their opinions on forgeries, even the most revered experts.&nbsp; It just depends on how wrong and how often.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>RBW, one of the most experienced Roman Republican collectors and experts of the late 20th century, had a cast fake Labienus (a very rare RR denarius!) in his collection that was a fairly obvious copy of well pedigreed coin, both of which were sold by NAC.&nbsp; Yes, NAC put RBW&#039;s Labienus fake in the sale even though a few years earlier they sold the real one too!&nbsp; How can that happen??&nbsp; Well, it did and it even made it into the RBW hardcover collection corpus published by NAC recently!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie27" alt=":bored:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve stayed out of giving on opinion on this thread on those coins because I&#039;m not confident enough in what I&#039;m looking at in these photos to give it.&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry to see the OP so discouraged.&nbsp; There is danger in this hobby, but that can also be part of the excitement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
