<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1023003, member: 19463&quot;]There are fakes of everything.&nbsp; I feel 99% certain I can spot fakes in certain specialities I collect but only 1% certain of other coins I&#039;m only starting to get interested in.&nbsp; Sasanian is made hard, to me, by the fact that there are so many styles and mints with such different &#039;looks&#039;.&nbsp; We can spot obvious junk like tourist grade casts but there will be coins that we accept or condemn until we know better and move them to the other group.&nbsp; When you see a post on CoinTalk asking if a coin is real, the most common and most honest answers will be either &#039;certainly fake&#039; because the item is identical to a proven fake we have previously seen or just an opinion based on gut feelings and the information available (usually a photo).&nbsp; Like everything else, I feel better buying Sasanians from a dealer that I have reason to trust and whose opinions I have reason to respect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
