<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7966336, member: 97383"]It's hard to imagine anyone would be fooled by a Slavey Petrov replica unless they are virgin to the hobby. Slavey's coins are not counterfeits, they are style-copy replicas not meant to fool anyone unless they have been altered. He is a talented engraver with a unique style, nearly all his coins are signed, & his coins are pressed, not struck. I bought the Slavey replica pictured below over 10 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1381241[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Slavey Petrov off-metal (gold) replica of a Troas-Tenedos tetradrachm originally struck in silver.
