<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3219406, member: 92655&quot;]These days... It&#039;s unfortunate that folks will put so much effort into counterfeiting. I believe there may be a societal statement hidden somewhere in there but I&#039;ll leave that alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I been a lifelong US coin collector. Being the family coin guy a Roman Fel Temp was handed down to me some years ago. I assumed it was a jewelry copy. A kind and generous fellow here in the ancients section confirmed my Fel Temp was the real deal..... His take made very good sense to me. &quot;There are many of these pieces available for very affordable prices. So why got to the trouble of counterfeiting them?&quot; I was a bit taken back. I had made the incorrect assumption in my mind that a 2000 year old coin was quite valuable. Now that I am a tad more educated on ancients it was pleasantly surprising that these ancient pieces of history are quite affordable! </p><p><br /></p><p>So then it stands to reason. Anything can and will be counterfeited. However, why put forth more effort to counterfeit something that is already very affordable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
