<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lolli, post: 3535058, member: 96900&quot;]I am not related to Dr. Lanz.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does it really make sense that I have posted some fakes offered or sold by him at auction or at ebay, which were withdrawn if I would be him or if I would be one of his employees? I do generally only post fakes which are imho interesting for others, in most cases I do only notified auction house and added them to my fake folder on usb drive. I think that he would fire me because I would reject too many coins and would make so his consignors angry!</p><p>I would only sell coins which are without a doubt authentic. But it seems like he is sometimes selling problematic coins too (smoothed silver coins, repatinated bronze coins etc.) as long as he thinks that they are still fine and there is not a really strong evidence that they are fake. he would never ever sell intentionally a fake coin but if you sell problematic there is a high chance that some of them are fake. I would have never ever sold any of the 3 coins posted by Barry Murphy not because they must be fake but because they do look suspicious and I would not sell any coin which is not without a doubt authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example the cast Augustus at his last auction</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://forgerynetwork.com/asset.aspx?id=hjvvT5OXG~x~Q=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forgerynetwork.com/asset.aspx?id=hjvvT5OXG~x~Q=" rel="nofollow">http://forgerynetwork.com/asset.aspx?id=hjvvT5OXG~x~Q=</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.sixbid.com/de/numismatik-lanz-muenchen/4928/category/4104953/lot" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sixbid.com/de/numismatik-lanz-muenchen/4928/category/4104953/lot" rel="nofollow">https://www.sixbid.com/de/numismatik-lanz-muenchen/4928/category/4104953/lot</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I had good arguments why the coin is fake (artificial patina, mother is know and so one). So it was withdrawn !</p><p><br /></p><p>And he is withdrawing fakes like other dealers and auction houses too before, while and after auctions if there is evidence that they are really fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>He gifted me an expensive fake gold coin (real gold), which he has withdrawn and taken back from buyer and which the buyer didn´t want to have back.</p><p>He knows that I do collect fakes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again if there is any real evidence that the coin is really fake and Dr. Lanz will be notified you will get your money back.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But I do not care about NGC condemnation without any detailed and verifiable evidence given why the coin must be fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC is not perfect they have slabbed fakes in the past, too.</p><p>So if the employees of NGC are only humans and not perfect why shouldn´t they&nbsp; be able to condemn an authentic coin, too?</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that the electrum stater is actually fake if it is true what Barry Murphy wrote about it. But this information should be send to Dr. Lanz[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
