Message:: [QUOTE="Plumbata, post: 3221039, member: 96864"]Thanks for sharing Mike, it's always helpful to study fakes and incorporate their attributes into one's mental "counterfeit detector", I too have been burned but not for too much, and if that's the price for a hands-on education regarding what to avoid in the future then it's certainly been worth it. After absorbing some opinions/perspectives from most others here I was getting the sense that I might have a screw loose in the head for thinking the same thing! Congrats on the great score of that Nomos, I too enjoy the treasure-hunting aspect of searching for poorly advertised "sleepers" and in the realm of coins, aside from a half dozen Greek cities that are actively sought I'd call myself a "good-deal collector" of whatever appealing ancients I can obtain cheaply enough that a profit could be generated after fees if sold at fair market price with proper title/description. I've got another 40-50 years to absorb information and refine my focus so that strategy will do just fine for now, even if marginally risky.[/QUOTE]
