<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alwayslost, post: 205542, member: 7155&quot;]Thanks to all who responded to my thread. How would one tell if some nefarious person took a real coin, make an impression and then a die to stamp a slug of hot gold? Coin minting back then was primitive so it should not be hard to manufacture fakes. Remember that I am new to this area of collecting and am only seeking advice. I remember 25 years ago a good friend of mine asked another coin dealer friend of mine to get him a silver Alexander the Great denarius (excuse my spelling). It was about the size of a dime and my coin collector friend sold it to him for $40. I have checked these coins and they go way above what my friend paid for it. Leading me to believe that there is great potential in this field of coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
