<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2349406, member: 19463&quot;]I have seen no evidence they were found &quot;amongst genuine coins&quot;.&nbsp; Salting uncleaned groups with &#039;fillers&#039; is known.&nbsp; Certainly they are not official style.&nbsp; I have no idea how to separate ancient replica from modern.&nbsp; Being corroded is not, in itself, proof of anything.&nbsp; We have some ancient styles that have been linked to being found in circumstances that make them most likely old.&nbsp; I do not recognize these as anything I have seen in that category but I&#039;m no expert and do not collect them.&nbsp; I can not say certainly either way but assuming they are ancient copies just because they look wrong is not right either.&nbsp; My question is whether we have seen this style scattered in with hoards for years or if they have just shown up and need to be studied.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
