<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2522668, member: 76111&quot;]Die matches are perfectly normal, and actually very useful for helping to uncover forgeries if you can confirm the match against a known authentic coin such as in the British Museum or elsewhere.&nbsp; Coin matches, on the other hand, are problematic as it concerns authenticity because it&#039;s pretty unlikely that 2 hand made ancient coins are <u>exactly</u> the same.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, you can have die matches with fake dies where multiple forgeries exist so the key is to study the issue and find examples of likely authentic examples to compare it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Whether your examples are authentic, I have no idea because I&#039;m not familiar with the types.&nbsp; The 2nd group does not all share the same reverse die IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
