<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2473539, member: 19463"]The local county agricultural extension agent is a professional mycologist but freely points out that he eats mushrooms from the grocery rather than the wild. It won't kill you to buy a fake coin but I'm still 100% with Sallent on this one. More people die from the Death's Cap mushroom than any other. </p><p><img src="http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2014/02/140203_MEDEX_shroomline.jpg.CROP.original-original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The Death's Cap of ancient coin fakes is probably the Judaea Capta sestertius. A higher percentage of them are fake than any other coin I can think of. There may be more fakes of Tribute Pennies overall but there are more real ones, too. For that matter, there are more fakes of 12 Caesars coins in general but most we see are real. I can't say that about Judaea Captas. I suspect only a few of our number here have a real one and I strongly suspect that they did not buy it on eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
