[QUOTE="GinoLR, post: 22101794, member: 128351"]He is accused of fabricating false provenances for the rare coins he auctions. I have been pissed off by the looting of a hoard found in Gaza in 2013 and 2017. Many exceptional Alexander decadrachms had been smuggled out to Israel and shared between two antiquities traffickers, a Palestinian from Gaza living in UAE and a well-known Jordanian-Canadian trafficker (convicted in USA) who collaborated with Roma Numismatics. A lot of these decadrachms were auctioned by Roma Numismatics with bogus provenances such as "from a private Canadian collection" or same kind of bs. The Gaza house of the Palestinian trafficker has been raided lately by the police and they could recover a lot of coins from the hoard that had not been smuggled to Israel yet: dozens of tetradrachms and allegedly some decadrachms (but I did not see their photos). For the decadrachms that ended in the share of the Jordanian-Canadian person, and were auctioned by Roma Numismatics, I am very happy to read that Mr Beale admitted their provenances were fake. At last !!! [ATTACH=full]1544230[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
