<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 685171, member: 6370&quot;]I wouldnt think it odd if someone did make fakes of common constantine coins because they have (in bulk).... Making them good enough to fool the BM would be another story but a feather in the cap of a forger. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yesterday I read an interview of a czech man who makes copies of ancient coins and has been since he was a child. He says one of his main goals is to make a coin that looks, in every way, like an ancient coin...of course its also about money, but it was obvious one of the pleasures he gets out of the business is to make EXACT copies of ancients that are true in all ways, hand struck, metal content, size, weight, wear, etc...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I dont think these are fake though...a great lucky find IMO. If any of these are released to be sold, certainly a faker might decide to distribute his fake constantine coins as being from the &#039;Shrewsbury horde&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
