[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 5362165, member: 74222"]For those who don't know what "overstrikes" means then here is a good intro: [URL]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac70byz.html[/URL] Otherwise I just want the opinion of the very experienced coin collectors here and particularly Doug if he sees this. Fake ancient coins are fortunately very rare. Out of 10.000 ancient coins 100 coins will be fake while the rest would be geniune. Out of those 100 fake coins 99 will be detected sooner or later, but 1 fake coin would be so well made that it might never be detected. (Source: [URL]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fake.html[/URL]) I just want to know: Are overstrikes-coins more difficult to fake than normal coins? Have any of you ever seen fake overstrikes-coins?[/QUOTE]
