<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lolli, post: 4746875, member: 96900&quot;]&quot;well if Bulgarian have genuine low quality Roman coin why not selling them online same way as the Prius coin I posted ?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Because the looted coins have to be smuggled out of country and then being whitewashed. Till they arrive at retail markets in Western Europe or USA they went through many hands and each time the go through a new hand the price is increasing !!!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I cant find any denarii less than 60 dollars no matter how bad condition is.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Dealers have to live too, so they buy for example a lot or&nbsp; coins from an auction house and some double the price, this is not market value for me. Some are do more then doubling the price and if they are patient enough they might find a collectore who is stupid enough to pay so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>The % amount Gold of the Brutus is not any evidence that the coin is authentic.</p><p>As said before, other not ancient silver items can have the same amount of Gold as the Brutus and could be melted down for planchet or they mixed the alloy that it fits to ancient silver or they melted a very cheap ancient silver coin for it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What speaks for authenticity of the Brutus fake ?</p><p>Nothing, Gold amount does not prove anything!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Against authenticity:</p><p>Most likely pressed die match for sale by fake seller</p><p>The style and fabric of the die match fits almost 100 % to a Bulgarian forger and workshop</p><p>No proven authentic coins from this dies known and no die links to authentic coins</p><p>Pedigree is fake</p><p>etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
