Coin talk > Fakes
A strange lot
Per D:
This group is supposedly being posted on various social media.
Victor:
I've seen the Helena before and the two Constantine I GLORIA's from Antioch has also been done in gold.
tjaart:
I assume all of those are fake? Because I think, if I saw the campgate on its own, I would not have realised that it was a fake...
Victor:
Yes, the campgate looks good; but so do the Helena and two Constantine GE's from Antioch. It seems like guilt by association, plus the campgate has the same type of patina as the two GE's. The fields are also very smooth on the campgate, like the others.
Heliodromus:
The campgate and Helena are also known fakes (Helena reported by Bulletin on Counterfeits), and based on the similar appearance I assume the Galerius ant and Licinius II are too. There's also a Fausta obverse from same group, and sloppily the same Fausta/Helena obverses are paired with both Nicomedia (SPES) and Antioch (SECVRITAS) reverses!
