<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Multatuli, post: 3162865, member: 89266&quot;]Personally, I see no big problems in a collector having a Paduan or a Becker in their collection as long as they &quot;true&quot;, if he has not been fooled. Nor do I see no harm in an electrotype “plugging a hole” in the collection that will never be filled unless you are a wealthy Chinese businessman or a sheikh of oil. But for forgeries, I only collect the old ones that actually circulated (e.g. Fourrées), although I have seen some paradoxical responses from members who condemn fourrées, but accept to have a Paduan in the collection. It is a matter of taste and opinion. I personally would not spend my money on copies, even if they have their numismatic value (I have them as medals, not coins), but I respect whoever does them. Maybe, I even paid for that&nbsp; Pacatian antoninianus, made by Becker, struck in a real denarius of Antoninus Pius, as Doug Smith showed a few days ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
