[QUOTE="Odysseus, post: 2426048, member: 78274"]Let's play another quiz boys! This one is a bit more difficult, so sharpen your sight. :pompous: Look at this coin, recently sold by Kunker: [url]https://numismaticfakes.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/liparafake-img.jpg?w=700[/url] Undoubtedly fake, struck by modern dies on a real ancient flan of Akragas. This is an "impossible" coin from a metrological point of view (5.94 g), the types should be for the tetras (8 known specimens according to Calciati, weights from 1.60 to 2.83 g). Here another sample sold on may 2011 by the notorius ebay fakes seller Aitnacoins: [url]https://numismaticfakes.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/lipara-tetras-ebay-aitnacoins-19-may-2011.jpg[/url] Other samples were sold on the bay in recent years. Here is a group of six fakes struck by the same modern dies.

I am preparing a post to be published on my blog asap. will someone solve the problem before?[/QUOTE]
