<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2234022, member: 26302"]To be fair, I read the article in the Celator about these 10-15 years ago, which is why I recognized the coin. The really scary thing about these fakes, to me, was they were struck on flans made of remelted ancient silver. Therefor, any metallurgy tests proved they were ancient metal of the type used for coins. The forgers on these REALLY thought it through in that regard, they simply did not get the style quite correct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
