Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a comprehensive response, and

I very much appreciate your taking the time to do so.

I’ve been fascinated by ancient coins since I was a child, saving up my pocket money to buy ‘unsorted’ Roman copper with the chance of finding the occasional denarius. Now as an old geezer with a few more resources, I look out for Bulgari’s ‘Moneta’ collection. There’s a great pic of Goldie Hawn in the Forum wearing a necklace (as I recall) incorporating an Athenian gold stater - well worth a look :)

Thanks once again, and best wishes.

Thanks for your writings.

I’ve always been a bit reluctant to buy ancient coins on eBay or other sites as I believe that fakes are quite common.

Do you have any thoughts about this, or advice that you could offer?
