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

Yes many many known fakes flooding the market. Maridvnvm has warned us since 2007 about these forgeries. He even created a die-linkage with many of them. They were even sold in batch of 1000 !

Fake Coins and Notorious Fake Sellers / Fake coins?

Seller has multiple offers similar to this, are they modern fakes?
Especially the first row seems very suspicious to me,
what do the experts on the forum say  ;)

Niestety do przeczytania artykułu trzeba zakładać jakieś konto, wiec nie wiem, co tam pani badaczka badała.
Artykuł jest bardzo zdawkowy. Mógłbym go tu wkleić, ale nie wiem, czy to będzie zgodne z regulaminem?
Badawczyni, profesor z Boston College (czyli, Panie Lechu, prawdopodobnie nie maczała palców w Brexicie) analizowała groby z okresu 400-650 r. i doszła do wniosku, że po wyjściu Rzymian a przyjściu barbarzyńców, życie Brytyjczyków wydłużyło się o dwa lata. Tezę oparła na tym, że skoro nie trzeba było płacić podatków, a te Rzymianie ściągali bezlitośnie, mogli przeznaczać środki finansowe na zdrowszą jakościowo żywność (to też pachnie współczesnością, ale może tylko przewrażliwienie).

CPK,

Wonderful acquisition from an important collection. I really love it when coins come with the handwritten tags of former owners. Sometimes, in my mind, the tags are worth possessing almost more than the coins.

All the best,

Coin of the Day / Coin of the day - Septimitus Severus denarius, ex-Mark Salton Coll.
« Last post by CPK on March 26, 2024, 07:45:44 am »
Good morning everyone! Hope your week is progressing well.

Today I'd like to present one of my favorite coins - a denarius of Septimius Severus:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=186239

The coin itself is not a rare type, and finding Severan denarii in excellent condition is not all that difficult. Still, this coin is exceptional in its quality - crisply struck, perfectly centered on a large and heavy (3.70g!) flan. The coin is beautifully toned as well, with hints of iridescence, and lustrous.

And to top it all off, this coin came from the famous Mark Salton Collection. Salton (born Max Schlessinger) came from a long line of established German coin dealers, going back to the early 1800's. His father, Felix Schlessinger, ran a coin dealership until he was imprisoned and murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust; Max and his brother managed to escape, eventually settling in America. The coin came with an old handwritten envelope (pre-Salton, purchased in Istanbul in 1946) to which Salton added his own notes in blue pen on the front.



Thanks for looking!

Thanks Joe, I hope you like it.  Please note that the SNR puts the abstract at the end of the article (one in English and one in German).
