<p>[QUOTE="Paul Elliott, post: 6387551, member: 118295"]Thanks for the replies. In fairness to the original collector I bought the entire collection including some very nice early Greek and other Roman, found two obvious fakes among them including one with a well-known London dealer ticket! Most of the Greek and Roman had dealers tickets with descriptions (Spink and Coincraft) but I discounted the four sestertii because of the Agrippina one and as said "guilt by association" and no tickets. One thing I did not mention earlier is the coin edges. I could not find evidence of casting marks round the edges on any of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
