Deinomenid Posted May 3, 2023 · Supporter Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Thanks yes I know them somewhat, and had an earlier dated one for a while, but it was just oddly amusing to me that a 1779 copy was acceptable to my overlords in Westminster but not 1780. It's not as bad as the Athenian Coinage Decree I suppose! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big new book out on Magna Graecia and Sicilian counterfeit coins, whose entire premise seems to be comparing real coins with fakes and ones by and large sold by Bertolami. The authors carefully point out that Bertolami knew it was selling fakes and marked them as such but the fact that they pump out such vast numbers of "coins to help us study" is such a problem. The book is 250 pages long.... Couple of random pages - 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewStyleKing Posted April 23 · Member Share Posted April 23 Who and where is the source of the fakes, Bertolomi seems to be a facilitator. Will I sleep tonight with the fishes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
