<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2487598, member: 19463&quot;]While none of these fit in that category, there are fakes of ancient coins older than the US.&nbsp; There are many from the 1800&#039;s and vast numbers from the 1900&#039;s.&nbsp; Whenever you find a collection of 99% US pulled from circulation by grandpa in the 1920&#039;s, you can almost count on there being a fake ancient.&nbsp;&nbsp; I visited a coin shop that did not do ancients but had three fake Tiberius denarii which they got in mixed collections of US.&nbsp; They did not know for sure but they were not really shocked when I declined to buy them at any price.&nbsp; Being found in the ground in 1800 means nothing if a coin got there when great grandpa threw it out the window upon finding out he had been fooled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
