<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1332605, member: 12789&quot;]It isn&#039;t legal to take ancient coins out of Turkey, but the laws there say nothing about fakes.&nbsp; These are created locally and sold off to unsuspecting tourists on a daily basis.&nbsp; Unfortunately this piece seems to be one of those poorly made cast fakes.&nbsp; The real coins were die struck, sometimes though on hot cast blanks.&nbsp; The real ones would not have casting flaws, ie the bubbles - or the rim since they were not struck in collars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
