Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 12/16/2025 9:49 pm Venetian grossos are far less commonly faked than ancient coins. I'd tend to assume they were genuine. Easier to tell in-hand; replica-makers rarely bother to get the thickness right, since making an authentically thin replica would be too expensive. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Bulgarian contemporary counterfeits are known (I think you mentioned this in one of your other posts). It looks like the auction house Savoca got a big batch of them, and sold some as genuine before figuring it out (based on what I see in acsearch): https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=14916814 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=15274817 If your weight is low, that's what you've bought (I'm giving it 50/50 chance ... I don't like the large pellets decorating the throne reverse, but maybe that's just worn dies). Edited by tdziemia 12/17/2025 1:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
