<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Kondratieff, post: 2426513, member: 78618&quot;][USER=78274]@Odysseus[/USER] : Thanks for sharing Stannard and Fischer-Bossert:</p><p><a href="https://numismaticfakes.wordpress.com/2016/04/19/dies-hubs-forgeries-and-the-athenian-decadrachm/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://numismaticfakes.wordpress.com/2016/04/19/dies-hubs-forgeries-and-the-athenian-decadrachm/" rel="nofollow">https://numismaticfakes.wordpress.com/2016/04/19/dies-hubs-forgeries-and-the-athenian-decadrachm/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone, imho, should study and learn from this article. The decadrachm fake is obvious in its failure to capture the style of the original in its details (e.g., the dots in the hair at the bottom left of the obverse are randomly placed). I think the true value of this article is in teaching numismatists how to spot transferred flan and die flaws in dies made from real coins. The authors have done some great work here AND may save many numismatists from buying problem coins (one hopes).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
