[QUOTE="Lolli, post: 3806803, member: 96900"][B][B]"Beim vorliegenden Stück handelt es sich um eine Nachamung des Ende 19./ Anfang 20. Jhd,."[/B] Nachamung is German word for "fake" (reproduction), and I copied this from description. Even in link is "19-20-JHD" which means 19-20 Jahrhundert , Jahrhundert is century. "how can this be from early 1900 when the fake dies are from the 1980?" What are you talking about? All of these Kentoripai fakes are either cast fakes and mother was authentic like in this case or transfer die fakes taken from authentic mother. No Kentoripai fakes from modern hand cutted dies are known to me and I think that I am pretty familiar with sicilian fakes. It is compeltetly meaninlyless when some transfer die fakes entered the market because this coin is a cast fake and not related to them. I have seen many of these Kentoripai fakes on picture or in hand and you can easily recognized the fakes due to artificial patina. Although the [B]Kentoripai [/B]cast fakes and transfer die fakes of have a different patina the cast fakes often have a black patina and the transfer die fakes a green or red patina. [/B] [B][ATTACH=full]1015693[/ATTACH] [/B] You do not have any arguments why this Leontinoi tetradrachms are supposed to be fake and you do not seem to have any, because then you would have posted them here. For me they look fine and I am familiar with this Leontinoi issue and with Sicilian fakes and fakes itself and my feeling concering fakes is extremely reliable and imho much better than yours ^^.[/QUOTE]
