<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mightyknighty, post: 7503815, member: 120084&quot;]Yes I agree! It is a great hypothetical topic to discuss. On making a die exact copy of the original coin is not too hard. With modern cast technique or even some machines like spark laser you can make an exact impression of a coin to be used as a die for striking forgeries. For gold roman coin if they use a worn example (can be obtained around 1-2K) and make one with 35K as you said will be a huge profit isn&#039;t it? I am sure they would be happy of spending even a month of workmanship and spend 3K for a worn example and make 35K return. on a separate note, they usually change centering and wear in a way that even if two forgery are strike from same die but not easily detected as identical coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
