Agrippina RIC 42, fake?
« on: November 28, 2023, 06:09:35 am »
I can buy this for € 50,-- so it must be fake.

There is no information about size or weight.

50 Euro is too much for a cast of a replica coin, it is not too cheap it is too expensive.

Here is one of these replicas made by artist Petar Petrov for 23,75 € including shipping!

It is in his catalogue too.

PS: Screening purcases is not allowed, if you want to lower the risk much to buy fakes you should consider to buy from reliable dealers, they will generally refund you the money if a coin turns out to be fake.
