I don't think a great number of collectors consulting this
forum could be fooled by the two last coins I posted, there's nothing much dangerous about them to anyone who ever saw a real
Probus ant (or any other ancient coin). But in the same breath I could say the same about a majority of the coins posted in the
fake reports. These are not for those who know, but for those who don't. The seller who sold the last 2 ants succeeded in
selling for about 150 euros worth of
fakes in less than 15 minutes. So, as obvious as they are, there is
still a profit being made with them, and quite a
good one considering where they are from.
As for the first ones I posted, these were deemed "dangerous" by one of the largest
french dealer (who
had them in hand), that's enough for me. I wouldn't even have started considering
buying them, not because they are
fakes, but because they are plain ugly.
On another note, interesting the
Severina. Looks indeed like the same manufacture
