I saw this article about a counterfeit antique coin last week and didn't give it a second thought. So what? I muttered. It just shows scammers were ever with us.One sentence haunted me, however: "'We are not yet aware of any other counterfeit coins like this one,' says Giovannelli." So that makes the counterfeit coin rarer than real antique money, right? And that makes it more valuable than solid silver or even authentic solid-silver antique coinage.Maybe, I'm just not thinking about this clearly—it is a genuine fake, after all.Not an earth-shattering insight, just funny strange.
