[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3561341, member: 56653"]The last few years have seen so many fakes after late roman and migration perriod rarities coming to surface and unfortunately the same "workshop" or workshops are venturing into medieval (especially Carolingian) coins. They all have in common the texture and probably composition of the flan and the overall appearance. These products have made some appearances here on the forum -- see [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pulcheria.325864/#post-3220137']here[/URL] and [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-galla-placidia-and-authenticity-concerns.316204/#post-3080029']here [/URL]for instance. And take a look through the listings [URL='https://www.ebay.com/str/pana']here [/URL]of late roman, early byzantine and germanic "coins": Odoacer, Theodosius II, Iohannes, Libius Severus, Theodahad, all made by the same hand and with the same tools.
