<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3294132, member: 19463&quot;]This thread seems to ignore the fact there wee two separate fake groups with similar reverses.&nbsp; The link Ed gave included the line below:</p><p>&quot;This page only discusses diobols. In 1999 <a href="http://rg.ancients.info/bulgarian_school/forgeries.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rg.ancients.info/bulgarian_school/forgeries.html" rel="nofollow">a huge hoard of fake Apollonia Pontika drachms</a> appeared, which has been discussed by Reid Goldsborough.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>When researching these coins, start by deciding which denomination you have.&nbsp; You can not always trust every seller to separate the drachms and the diobols correctly.&nbsp; Diobols tend to weigh more or less 1g.&nbsp; Drachms weigh more or less 3g. </p><p><br /></p><p>I stopped buying anything from this region simply because I had a representative and did not feel like I wanted to put in the effort to stay ahead of the fakers.&nbsp; You never know what they will make next.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
