LysimachosFake.jpgLysimachos, silver tetradrachm, #B106 viewsSold on eBay as authentic.
The following contributed by Reid Goldsborough:This is a piece that has also been sold as a replica on eBay, originating in Bulgaria, likely a product of the Lipanoff Studio. It's the correct weight, ranging from what I've seen between 16 and 17 grams, and the correct diameter, at between 29 and 32mm, and it's silver, but the styling as has been mentioned here is off. Sometimes it's marked as a replica, sometimes not. It has been used by a number of scammers on eBay as an authentic coin, often with additional toning and other surface work applied.peterpil19

BOC_1992_BMF_6a.jpgMacedonia, Philippi, AV Stater17 viewsObv. Head of young Heracles right, wearing lion skin.
Rev. FILIPPWN Tripod with three handles; from the two handles at the sides.
Fig 6a is the false coin - ca 8.6g
Fig 6b is genuine from London - 8.62
This coin is part of what IAPN/BOC coined as the British Museum Forgers (BMF) production. These are coins based on electrotypes of coins from the British Museum (BM) that have been used to create new dies that have been enhanced in various ways. These coins are considered dangerous counterfeits and caused a lot of embarrassment amongst dealers in the mid-late 1980s when they made it through onto the market.
Whilst being dangerous they all share certain characteristics:-
a) the relief on the coin type is much more rounded and fuller than on the original coin and is often higher
b) many of the coins show no sign of any real wear but lack sharpness giving the impression of being weakly struck
c) the coin is known in an example from the same dies in the BM collection
d) the coin differs in very small ways and these changes are areas of either wear or damage on the BM coin
e) the area of join between the coin type and the flan is never really sharp
f) on gold coins the fields tend to be perfectly flat with some wavyness or convexity on the reverse. The surfaces are so perfect they look like melted chocolate
g) the pattern of wear makes no sense with very clear details on areas which are higher in relief than more flat or worn ones
Same dies as the BM coin, made from the electrotype. The forgery is completely free of real wear but ares of the design are unsharp; the join between the type and the plan was rounded; the relief is fuller and more rounded than the original.
