Ed Snible Posted June 11, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 A replica Aureus by Slavey sold this week for 1'006 EUR (hammer). https://www.biddr.com/auctions/katz/browse?a=2570&l=2871688 The auction description noted COLLECTOR"S COPY. I obtained the denarius version in 2001 from Old Uriah on eBay for $20. "Victornius", modern denarius replica, 3.7g, 20.5mmObv: IMP C VICTORINVS PF AVG; BustRev: PROVIDENTIA AVG; Medusacf. RIC 99 I believe the artist is Slavey Petrov, based on this ForgeryNetwork entry http://forgerynetwork.com/asset.aspx?id=Xfgwq6K3vZI= which credits him. I guess people are finally starting to appreciate Slavey's work. Perhaps his works will become highly collectable like those of Christodoulous. 7 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Kowsky Posted June 11, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 Slavey Petrov is a very talented artist & engraver, his work has been highly collectable for a long time 😉. The coin pictured below I won at a CNG auction long ago. It is a style copy of a silver Tenedos tetradrachm that has been struck in pure gold by Slavey Petrov. The gold in the coin is worth more than I paid for it 😊. Slavey Petrov, 19.95 gm, 34 mm. The coin is signed near the wreath in micro letters. Pictured below is a genuine Tenedos tetradrachm that sold for $162,000.00 by Roman Numismatics Ltd. Ex Nelson Bunker Hunt collection. Tenedos, Circa 100-80 BC. AR tetradrachm: 16.83 gm, 37 mm, 12 h. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a remarkable price for a Slavey but it is a very artistic type... I hope someone wasn't thinking they bought an original for a steal. Here's my original (same reverse but under Caracalla) which is hands-down one of my favorite coins: Edited June 11, 2022 by AncientJoe 8 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
