How can you tell if a split is actually a split or it was cut to reveal the metal inside?

Thank you for the video my friend… I’m hoping you can point me to a reputable website for an Alexander the Great drachm
Comment from : @andrewyezzi5317

Thank you so much! Although, I wish I would have seen this before I bought five coins on eBay After I received them, I'm going to take them to my local coin place so they can do some metal testing on them to see if any of them are actually real
Comment from : @JoeRussellProductions

It ŵould be amazing if you could also make a video analyzing flan or struck forgeries with artificial patinas and weathering To me, they are the most dangerous kind

I found a reputable dealer on ebay, I've found gold ones and electrumhad them checkedI ONLY buy from him
Comment from : @Nunyabidnuz

It's kind of interesting to me that cast coins are a common way to fake a coin Historically they struck the coins because it was cheap brbrIf the goal was perfection they would have removed the flashing, and struck the coins dead center remelting any with tears/defects Counterfeiting wasn't even a real worry (so long as the coin was made of the right purity of gold/silver) It honestly seems worlds easier to me to make a coin the historical way than to try and cast it
Comment from : @AGryphonTamer

Comment from : @Glitter_H_Hoof

Id love to have a serious discussion with you about the coins were really made
Comment from : @bartsaxton7071

Can you do a video on how to tell apart struck fakes?
Comment from : @dexagalapagos

Take a close up picture of a real coin and the fake using a camera phone and flash Zoom in,and you will see the cast coin looks like the surface of the moon compared to the struck coin
Comment from : @sinjohnsmyth8301

The chinese maintain art works over hundreds of years in a process of continuous restauration with skills that match the original creators It is a different mind set, compared to a Western view that the original Nachtwacht or Mona Lisa are sacred
Comment from : @albertmagician8613

Anyone have any reputable sources to buy from? I saw a website that was called (Vcoins the online coin store) and was thinking about buying one but I just don’t feel confident enough to know what I’m buying and what’s a fair price! Anyone know of any trustworthy online sources to buy Roman coins?
Comment from : @apemancommeth8087

The info is gold! Silver and bronze too!
Comment from : @DieLuftwaffel

But what if I don’t want a genuine ancient coin, rather, just something that looks pretty in coin form?
Comment from : @fleckensteleworm4889

just melt the fake
Comment from : @Mustafa1998

Thank you very much for your information I came to your site for my Kushan Indian gold coin and Bactrian Greco-Roman Gold coins Easy to detect the fake!
Comment from : @vonvastvonbangkokmuenchhau9754

Thank you so much! Fairly new and fakes are one thing I am concerned about, especially coins that look like they could be worth something
Comment from : @abijahdixon2771

Thanks for the informative video, is it so hard to make fake struck coins? If so can you please explain why?
Comment from : @Parnissios

Did you ever get a coin from an auction that was fake?
Comment from : @slavi98

will laser sintered coins become an issue with detecting counterfits? especially now that 3d scanners are getting more detailed than their silicone counterparts?
Comment from : @PaulMccarthyIII

Id say this is why you do not get into this

Vorrei che parlasse in italiano
Comment from : @silvanaalbanese4887

Very instructive and interesting, bravo !
Comment from : @ocat7682

Is there any way I could send you a link to a coin currently for auction or get your opinion on a specific ebay seller? I've seen the other videos on fakes, and you are by far the best resource I can think of to check to give an opinion
Comment from : @jeffersonp402

Thumb's up for another fine and helpful episode I'm off to find your earlier one on the topic Much as I always feel an odd sense of unease at seeing a lovely old coin anachronistically entombed in one of those grading service lucite sarcophagi, the fakes out there are getting SO good and becoming SO hard to detect, even with special equipment, that I hate to concur that I almost understand why it's quickly becoming necessary to certify themespecially with costlier ones

Comment from : @thirdperihelion4686

Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference,between a grainy surface on a genuine coin, from the grainy or porous surface on a cast fake

Thanks so much, Leo As always, super interesting and useful Perhaps you could consider making a video on the third century 'barbarous radiates' in the near future
Comment from : @sebastianmaharg

Thanks Leo most useful
Comment from : @gordongrant408

Often on eBay you will see too many amazingly preserved coins either being passed over, or if sold, an exact twin appearing in a future (often the very next) auction Study the bidding history and avoid coins that are pictured poorly, ie blurred
Comment from : @mathewaitken938

This is why I find hammer struck coins among the most interesting the way they deformed as the hammer hit the metal it always deforms it in someway that no modern machine does and how each coin is different
Comment from : @hasashoepugower1691

Thank you so much for this I've been thinking about branching out into ancient coin collecting and this is great info!
Comment from : @solinvictus39

But bothering me most are those fake coins that were actually struck, please make another epsode to explain how to spot those fake coins produced using ancient method with real pure silver and gold
Comment from : @drinknova

Please make more videos about fake coins and fake precious metals Like how much do they actually make per coin at each quality level? How many fakes are made a year and are entering the inventories of dealers? What are high value fakes that have sold for big monies? Please more like this Thank you and have a good one
Comment from : @Jesse_Dawg

THANK YOU!!!!!
Comment from : @philt6919

I accidentally bid on a fake the other day It wasnt a scam or anything, just they said the time period it was from so I assumed it was real but further down they mentioned it was a "modern collectable item" Always read it all before bidding because I won and couldnt back out of paying for it! Its a septimus severus with his wife on one side and caracalla on the other by the way
Comment from : @Fummy007

One of the best ways to detect a fake seller on eBay is to look at the other items he is selling If they are selling a lot of single unique pieces they are more likely to be genuine If they are selling a lot of the same looking pieces and they are likely fakes Because it is very difficult to produce hundreds of different unique fakes while it is very easy to produce hundreds of simple fakes

Yes, the key phrase is that, Leo: "too good to be true" Super well explained, and beautiful coins shown (I mean the real ones! 😅)
Comment from : @Numischannel

Chinese coins are the hardest fake coins to spot as the original coins are cast 😢
Comment from : @benbream2235

Thanks for making these!
Comment from : @2is1gold

Cast fakes aren't the problem It's the struck coins made with fake dies which have ethier been milled or edm'd which are the really tricky ones to tell Almost impossible to tell if they're gold coins
