<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1321496, member: 19463&quot;]We need a better photo of the Constantinopolis also.&nbsp; At first look I believed it was good but am having trouble with the style compared to the mintmark unless I&#039;m reading it wrong due to the poor photo.&nbsp; Is it branch PLC? Each of the mints that produced these coins had its own unique style so it is important for the style to match the lettering.&nbsp; Does anyone have a Lyon Constantinopolis or am I misreading this one?</p><p><br /></p><p>I see little doubt that the Demetrius is a fake.&nbsp; This type has been faked a lot lately.&nbsp; Neither of these coins are particularly high grade.&nbsp; If you think these are bad just because they look good, you will really doubt really nice coins. Compare a Demetrius that $3k would but in 2007:</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=82179" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=82179" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=82179</a> </p><p>[ATTACH]149960.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
