[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8223840, member: 110226"]What makes you think it is a fake? The Constantine IV follis is from Harlan Berk, so I am sure they will honor a return, even though it has been over twenty years ago. The surfaces are granular in places, which I think could be die rust, and there are the usual deposits and some minor corrosion, but I don't see any signs of casting. I've handled enough Byzantine bronzes, and spotted this well-known fake in a group lot last year: [ATTACH=full]1444867[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
