[IMG]http://www.cachecoins.org/coins/4a.jpg[/IMG] These are all fakes and this is just one of many sad examples of fakes that are out there...but you will also notice that most of these are fakes of coins that fetch rather high dollar amounts...though there are some relatively lower dollar examples... Why did I post this? to let people know that there ARE authentic ancients out there, they arent that terribly rare (though some are) and while like any high dollar collectable there ARE fakes...there are also a large amount of very real, and quite affordable coins out there to be had for the person who takes the time to learn a bit about them, and learn who and where to buy from...and if you are ever in doubt, there are true experts out there who will be honest with you and tell you if they think or know its fake...one should not be afraid to collect ancients because of fakes...just know what you are doing. Because I used his hoard pictures to illustrate...if its okay I would like to say that these coins are courtesy of Salem Alshdaifat and Holy Land Coins and examples can be seen here: [URL="http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/holyland/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=60"]http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/holyland/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=60[/URL] at that link you can find hoards of Roman, Greek, and Persian coins...most are sold as fast as they come in...but luckily he often keeps them up to see...[/QUOTE]
