<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1976093, member: 19463&quot;]Ancient mass products made from many dies but surviving in some cases in small enough numbers that there are single examples from a die take on a new set of rules since you can not compare a new discovery to anything known.&nbsp; The art forger was not duplicating known works but creating new things in the spirit of known artists.&nbsp; This compares to a coin forger who makes a new die in the spirit of a particular time and place.&nbsp; Rather recently the single Domitian II was upgraded from probable fake to certifiably genuine when the British Museum found a second one in the middle of a hoard.&nbsp; More frequently the change in expert opinions goes the other way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
