<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 8251595, member: 44106&quot;]I don&#039;t think that the coins are Becker forgeries... Becker operated from 1806 to 1830, while I think that these are both much more modern forgeries. Both look very similar in style to the fakes of Slavey Petrov and other Bulgarian studios, although I think that Slavey produced his coins in sterling silver and these are some other type of white metal. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can see some of Slavey&#039;s designs here: <a href="http://www.beastcoins.com/Fakes-Altered/Fakes.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.beastcoins.com/Fakes-Altered/Fakes.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.beastcoins.com/Fakes-Altered/Fakes.htm</a>. There don&#039;t seem to be any similar fakes on the Forum Fakes website: <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/search.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/search.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/search.php</a> . </p><p><br /></p><p>There are no flow marks on any of the legends and the fields are almost too perfect, which indicates that these coins were likely pressed rather than struck (also indicating a more modern origin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
