<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2417080, member: 33176"]Why would someone fake an ancient coin? 1) if it is rare, when buying coins over $20 or so, you might run into fakes...see what [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] has to say 2) Costume jewelry often used (and uses) ancient coins, but usually they will either be quite bad or will have loops or stubs where loops used to be. If you get too frustrated taking photos, lay the coins down on a scanner and scan them...quality not too good, but sufficient for identification sometimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
