<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 675176, member: 6370"]thats not true. People do and can own fakes, they are called replicas...even fakes ment to be passed off as real can be owned as long as they are marked clearly. Nothing wrong with that IMO. Ancient fakes are quite desirable to many collectors for good reason...some of the most attractive coins I have seen are the medals of Giovanni Caving, The 'Paduan'. While I dont think they are as much fakes as tributes, they were never meant to be passed off as authentic, all the same, they were and a person who doesnt know may mistake one for a real ancient coin...but even if it were passed off as a real coin these days, an original would be worth quite a pretty penny. They are true works of art and today his reproductions are reproduced <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
