<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reidgold, post: 510073, member: 17090&quot;]There&#039;s a lot to be concerned about with regard to ancient coin authenticity, with lots of bad stuff going on. Antiquanova, the maker of these replicas, isn&#039;t one of them. They&#039;re a totally legitimate and legal maker of replicas (not fakes, not forgeries, not counterfeits -- legal copies), among the best and most highly regarded ancient coin replica makers in the world. They mark their work as copies. Yes, bad guys can gouge out the countermark or make die transfer or cast fakes from the replicas and tool out the countermark, but this is the same as with all replicas. What&#039;s more, the style always gives these away for what they are. These aren&#039;t deceptive or dangerous -- nothing to get worked up over. :smile</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to get worked up, there are a fair number of scammers on eBay who have set up shop for years selling forgeries as authentic not only of ancient coins but artifacts as well -- thousands of them, with thousands of people having gotten scammed. Which is why if you buy on eBay, and you&#039;re relatively new or inexperienced, you really need to buy only from sellers recommended by reliable sources. There are lots of good sellers, and lots of bad ones too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
