<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3381279, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t know enough about modern coins but with ancients, there are a few types that are so commonly faked that any time we hear of a coin that just &#039;slips in&#039; where it is unusual, we know it is a fake.&nbsp; This is a very popular coin but we never hear of one being the only ancient coin in a collection.&nbsp; It would be like having a US type set where the $20 was a 1933.&nbsp; There are probably a hundred recognized fakes of this type of which some are a few hundred years old now and a bit collectable for what they are.&nbsp; This is what we term &#039;tourist&#039; since the people who toured Greece in the last century rend to return with one whether they knew its status or were fooled by the locals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
