<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 8190269, member: 44106&quot;]Agree with the other CT&#039;ers that all the OP coins are fakes. The Naxos coin is definitely suspect, and the lack of details on the others, as well as their association with the Naxos coin likely condemns them as well. These are not the best fakes I&#039;ve seen on the market today... I continue to be impressed at the ingenuity of modern forgers.</p><p><br /></p><p>As has been stated on CT many times before, Bulgaria has a veritable cottage industry producing fake coins. Just tool around the EBay Medievals section to see the masses of rare &quot;Anglo-Saxon&quot; coins being offered for sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not to cough up an old hairball, but I find it interesting that Lanz now officially offers fakes on EBay (labelled as such). From the pictures, the most recent ones have sometimes been virtually indistinguishable from the real deal. From the bidding, I suspect that some of the bidders don&#039;t believe these coins are actually fake. It has shaken my confidence in being able to identify fakes, and has put me a lot more on my guard when considering EBay purchases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
