<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2869929, member: 76086"]Aside from Doug's explanation, fakes like this one are often salted into large groups of genuine coins to make the lot appear more valuable. It happens all the time. One would not think it, but common stuff like this and late Roman are frequently cast and tossed into hoards. Often times prospective buyers have little time to go through a big lot of coins, and when they see what might be a few dozen EF or whatever, it can make them buy the group.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
