<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4571919, member: 19463&quot;]Like most fakes, the appeal of replicas goes down the more one learns about the real thing.&nbsp; I have very little hands on experience with large Greek silver and have never touched a dekadrachm so the appeal of my Antiquanova pot metal coin (now $9 I believe - once cheaper) is greater than their Roman coins which are in no way deceptive because I know the originals better.&nbsp; I do like fakes with a history and place in the study of our hobby.&nbsp; This certainly includes things like Becker originals and Paduans but the demand for these has left me far behind the market price point.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1131988[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
