<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2585696, member: 19463&quot;]Beckers have become quite collectible in their own right.&nbsp; I bid and failed on one CNG offered a while back that was particularly appealing to me. </p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=311509" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=311509" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=311509</a></p><p>Pacatian is a very rare ruler and a coin of his would certainly be worth sacrificing a low end coin of Marcus Aurelius on which the coin was struck.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Some Becker originals were copied again by Rosa and some are still in production (China?).&nbsp; The one below is an Akragas dekadrachm stamped &quot;Becker&quot; on the edge ant &quot;copy&quot; at obverse top but not at all close to being deceptive due to the fabric errors.&nbsp; I suspect Becker would be upset to know his finest fakes have dropped so low. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]562072[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite fake is my Zenobia bronze.&nbsp; I believe it may have started life as a Flavian as but there has been a lot of tooling.&nbsp; I would love to know who and when. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]562077[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
