Message:: [QUOTE="ernstk, post: 4746747, member: 112998"]well if Bulgarian have genuine low quality Roman coin why not selling them online same way as the Prius coin I posted ? the coin I posted is in vcoins now . I cant find any denarii less than 60 dollars no matter how bad condition is. In Bulgaria digging and finding genuine coin is a big crime so I doubt they have access to such huge amounts of ancient coins for all the fakes they making. again they might use occasionally for high quality and expensive fakes that worth 1000+ but for less than that I doubt simply because they don't have that many ancient coins in their hands due to government restriction on digging and jail time for it. Mixing 0.5% gold in silver is very tough for a coin that weights less than 4 grams. If possible will take them lots if try and error or would need sophisticated tools which adds to the cost so again I doubt they do this option as well due to cost. As for the posted EID MAR , if they went to this length of melting an ancient coin for EID MAR, why they did not use the same exact die to match the style and strike it instead of cast? then it would be virtually impossible to detect that and they could earn 100s thousands? Making an identical die is easy and striking is also easy to do. My point is if they really made this coin to deceive experts by melting an ancient coin, why they miss the basics of using the exact die match and striking it as ancients did??[/QUOTE]
