Fake Coins and Notorious Fake Sellers / Re: Fake Akragas?

I thought that they generally make different designs for different nominals/coin types.
The main expert for this coinage is ULLA WESTERMARK, she has made a corpus of all to her known cointypes of Akrages including die studies.
Her book is standard literature for collectors of Akragas, I only have an authentic tetradrachm and bronze coin of Akragas and so looked into literature and am a little bit familiar with authentic coins from Akragas and fake coins in general and from Akragas.
Of course ULLA WESTERMARK did of course not add amatuer tourist fakes to her corpus.
Me and Altamura have looked and did not find authentic coins of this type, even if you know that they can not exist you still look to be certain.
Altamura had posted to numismatikforum a link where you can read and download The Coinage of Akragas for free, here is the direct link
