<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 3658886, member: 13650"]Hey guys. I was going to ask this somewhere else but didn't want to thread hijack. I think ancients are cool though I haven't purchased any yet. Wondering how difficult it is to spot fakes out there? Some are highly detailed but some are not. And then some could be made to look like something that's just worn. With many poorly made and worn examples, what do you look for besides obvious casting bubbles? It seems to me these would be harder to verify. You wonder how many fakes are bought and sold. Which ones are faked the most? Just wondering in case I ever want to purchase something not slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
