<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2673676, member: 19463&quot;]The only thing I really feel needs to be added here is the fact that these are very popular and expensive coins and that has made them popular among the fakers of our coins.&nbsp; I am not suggesting that any of the ones shown here are questionable but simply that this is not a coin to buy at a flea market.&nbsp; I know a dealer whose expertise is not quite what I would like who was showing a very nice and deceptive fake for which he had paid $1200 been offered $2000 by a collector but something told him it needed to be seen by eyes of more experience than ours.&nbsp; I had told him I did not like the coin.&nbsp; Three out of four dealers at the show old him the same thing.&nbsp; This is a great type.&nbsp; Don&#039;t let it drive you into doing something stupid.&nbsp; There are many different fakes of it out there and the somewhat crude style of the real ones makes it a little more dangerous than some issues.&nbsp; If you want one of these, do the research AND then buy it from a reliable source.&nbsp; This is not a coin to do one OR the other.&nbsp; Below is the <u>worst</u> of the fakes.&nbsp; If you looked at it for even a second before knowing that $16 was top dollar, I really suggest you wait a while before buying your Cleo coin.&nbsp; Really!</p><p><a href="http://www.antiquanova.com/Marcus-Antonius-and-Cleopatra-Denarius-Rome-34-BC-fine-silver-replica-coin-d248.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.antiquanova.com/Marcus-Antonius-and-Cleopatra-Denarius-Rome-34-BC-fine-silver-replica-coin-d248.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.antiquanova.com/Marcus-Antonius-and-Cleopatra-Denarius-Rome-34-BC-fine-silver-replica-coin-d248.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
