<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oldfinecollector, post: 4162886, member: 110740&quot;]As far I know most of the eastern fakes come from Bulgaria but they spread on other eastern countries. By the way Bulgaria now have strong law to protect antics si it is les dangerous by the law to sell fake ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>A French guy , past coin collector who live in Romania say that antics coins are easy to find in Romania during a walk with any metal detector. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ukrainian mint like Cherson for Byzantines are known from Roman mint I think and Celtic coins. Some hoards were founds in Ukrainia like in other eastern countries and such worn coins are perhaps from hoards.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the value of fake Bulgarian counterfeit even very little value&nbsp; coins and not using pure silver or other metals cost nothing and they have network of resellers even in UK. Never forget that people in Ukrainia have very low salaries like 300 / 400 usd per month soif they can earn with fake antics 200 or 500 usd more it is a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Best Buy to these vendors some coins and go to a coins dealer to ask him how is willing to buy them you will quickly know if there fakes. The problem is that when you buy fake coins you finance the business of fake coins...</p><p><br /></p><p>I know very well a numismatic expert and he gave me some of these fake to create what expert call a black cabinet as to have fakes can help to feel the differences between antics and modern antics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
