Item No. 121275 VISIGOTHS IN SPAIN: Chindasvinto, 642-653, AV tremis (1.17g), Toriviana, a Carl Wilhem Becker copy, Extremely Fine. This is a copy by Carl Wilhem Becker, who worked in the 1820's and is considered by many to be the most talented forger of classical Greek and Roman coins that ever lived. His forgeries still fool the occasional collector and dealer, and are collected and have considerable value in their own right. |
