<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2280463, member: 19463&quot;]I like the equating of these to Grand Tour pieces.&nbsp; They show what I consider to be an interest in ancient coins at a time when some things that were wanted were not available.&nbsp; The obvious leader is the Otho sestertius needed to complete the 12 Caesars series.&nbsp; Most Paduans were medallions rather than coins and I do not recall hearing any suggestion that they were sold as anything they were not.&nbsp; However I also consider genuine first generation Becker fakes as a part of the hobby.&nbsp; The problems with all these things comes hen people start selling them as originals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
