<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 7949158, member: 77077&quot;]Soft looking edges of letters and devices often result from casting because the crisp details are lost. Wrong weight, little bubbles on the surface, seams around the edges where the two sides of the molds met are also signs of obvious casts.&nbsp; Flan shapes or distinctive damage that exactly match other specimens are a give away of a cast. Lack of or blurry, minute flow lines radiating out from the center of the coin can also be a giveaway.</p><p><br /></p><p>In some parts of the world if you can take 10 cents worth of scrap copper or bronze and turn it into a $5 fake ancient coin that is a very good profit. So don&#039;t think no one would ever fake a cheap coin because that is not true. There are plenty of fake $5 ancients out there as others have shown many examples here.</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
