<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1996388, member: 42773&quot;]Which of the bronzes on that page do you consider counterfeit? The Caligula sestertius (Lot 628) appears to have casting bubbles, but other than that, I don&#039;t know the types well enough to say that the style or fabric of any one of them indicates a forgery. Are any of them a die match to known forgeries?</p><p><br /></p><p>ALL of the bronzes in that auction look slightly tooled and smoothed, but none of it seems egregious. I suppose it&#039;s a matter of taste, but as long as I don&#039;t see deep ruts around the devices and legends, and overly-sharp edges, I consider a small amount of tooling and smoothing to be within the acceptable limits of conservation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
