Hi everyone, I'm a Portuguese collector of ancient coins. My father was Italian, so I can read the posts published on lamoneta.it forum, where many experts and scholars analyze and detect fakes listed on auction catalogs. Some days ago I opened a blog where I translate in English their findings, to share with collectors who do not speak Italian. This is the address to my blog: https://numismaticfakes.wordpress.com/Adeus a todos Odysseus |

There are (...) fake Roman coins, struck by modern dies on real ancient blanks Would a 1900-year old blank be strong enough to survive this process? If so, they finally found a use for all the slugs from uncleaned lots  |

Thanks for the link. I am glad that I did not see any of my coins.

Makes for depressing reading - especially the supposed fake missed by Sear.
