Title: lots of fakes from boktorka333
Post by: Victor on November 22, 2016, 10:37:38 AM
below is a fake Martinian from German eBayer boktorka333. It looks like it is a Geneva forgery.

He has other fakes also, including a Domitius Alexander

this seller has more fakes this week.

He is actually selling two more Martinian coins and a fake Constantine with SENATVS reverse.

The next two pictures below are unusual. The Jovian and Constantius II are paired with reverses never actually minted. Perhaps he just put the wrong pictures together.

The next picture is a Constantine II VOT X from Thessalonica. It does not look right, but perhaps it is just the lighting.

the last is a fake Constans, he had two of these listed also.

Look to be experimenting with various types of patinas too.

another Jovian fake from boktorka333

The reverse is Constantinian, note the obverse is the same as the above Jovian with a PAX reverse.

somebody has made a bunch of dies but doesn't understand how pair them up properly.
