<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3152981, member: 76086&quot;]Not too likely.&nbsp; The last thing anyone would do would be to destroy a market price by advertising that previously very rare coins are now common (or at least less rare). I&#039;ve personally seen many hoards of fabulous material which included very rare coins which still only come to market occasionally.&nbsp; Such hoards never are released or sold at the same time (unless part of a known collection or published and released hoard by a government, like they do in England).&nbsp; Nevertheless, due to the rarity of these I would imagine there were not too many other examples in the group, but likely there were.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good point.&nbsp; This is a good method in determining fake from genuine and it is commonly used to authenticate ceramic and stone inscriptions.&nbsp; Most often forgeries can be detected if the inscription &#039;drops off&#039; gradually rather than being cut in the middle.&nbsp; Of course, this can be avoided by making a complete forgery then breaking it up.&nbsp; Its mostly best in determining as I said stone and ceramic, but can also detect tooled coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
