<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 2590921, member: 15445&quot;]That’s right.&nbsp; All these ancient things basically have the same punch mark. The mark says “copy” or “copie”.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few weeks back I invested $6.50 for 26 different fake ancient coins. The Judaean coins including a couple Marcus Ambibulous prutat are mint-state monstrosities which would not fool anyone. However, quite a few of the others could be deceiving to an unsuspecting buyer. These photos depict about ½ the lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]564102[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]564103[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The seller only made $0.25 per coin and he probably invested an hour punching them with copy stamps.&nbsp; It’s not like anyone made money on this lot. This photo depicts the copy stamp placed on the edge of one of the pieces.&nbsp; The dealer said that some of the coins shattered when he tried to mark them. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]564104[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a fake (or a pile of fakes), please post a photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I haven’t really decided what to do with all the fakes. I’ll probably keep them on display in my coin room.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
