<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3607356, member: 44316"]These are not parallel concepts. One is fake ancients. The other is ancient fakes. Fossil forgeries are modern fakes of old things. Fourrees are old, contemporary, fakes of old things (and do not include modern fakes). The fraction of Roman Republican coins in circulation at the time that were plated fakes has been studied (Giles Carter, "Silver-plated coins of the Roman Republic," 1988 Civico Museo Arch. e Numis di Milano, pages 27-33). He concluded (page 32) "In the Roman Republic the relative number of plated coins on the average was probably more than two and less than three percent."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
