<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1155345, member: 26302"]The "Black Sea Hoard", probably the largest group of fakes to come onto the market in the last 50 years had offcenter strikes. This was done I believe to make the hoard look real. There is no protection like you say. Think about it, even a badly offcenter coin will still sell for much in excess of any metal content. Its still pure profit. A few years ago they had roman uncleaned coins containing fakes. A dollar a coin is still almost pure profit, and lots of people in the world would love a dollar a coin profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
