<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 663931, member: 19463&quot;]This is going too far.&nbsp; A plain, unmarked disk would fool some people.&nbsp; Look at some of the fakes we have today that have fooled people.&nbsp; Have you seen the Caesar coin clearly dated 44 BC?&nbsp; I suppose a thousand years from now there might be an undergraduate paper written on the newly discovered Crusader king Drusus Rex.&nbsp; I&#039;ll hope it is caught by the Harvard faculty of 3009.&nbsp; Of the people posting on this Forum, how many could correctly ID a coin as Crusader style as opposed to other medieval options?&nbsp; That is among a group of coin hobbiests; the number from the population at large would be fewer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some good could come of this.&nbsp; Perhaps you could make some coins that Hollywood could use for their next hist-fic-flik that won&#039;t make us want to vomit when we see them on screen.&nbsp; Perhaps the safe compromise is a legend on the reverse that reads DRVSVS+FECIT+MMIX.&nbsp; That would still fool the same crowd that doesn&#039;t understand why 44BC on a Caesar coin is a problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
