How much is a fake Stradivarius violin that is over 100 years old worth?
LSQueen
I remember my first violin was a used one (though in good condition), and it came with all the necessities (such as a cleaner, and resin). It cost around $150. I'm sure you can get one for around $70 at the cheapest. But overall some violins can get pretty expensive as you require a better violin.

What is the value of a violin in very poor condition that has a stamped Stradivarius Made in Germany on the inside?
Chances are that its fake, you will have to take it to an appraiser to determine its real value.
What is the value of a Violin marked Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1716?
In short, priceless. If this is a genuine Stradivari Violin, it will be worth well over $3,000,000 at auction, according to the research I've done due to having found one of these from my deceased grandparents, who themselves have had it in their family for over 160 years. The first thing you will need to do is to have it appraised and find out if it is indeed genuine. The problem is that almost all of the 600 or so instuments made by Antonio Stradivari are accounted for. That in combination with the fact that it is perfectly legal for any violinmaker to put a label like the one you mention inside his instruments ,as long as he doesn't try to sell the instrument as the genuine article,make it EXTREMELY unlikely that your violin is anything more than an instrument made "in the style of". That being said ,your viloin could still have substantial value.Many "copies" of Stradivari violins are themselves worth many thousands of dollars .The only way to tell for sure is to have a qualified luthier look at your instrument, again keeping in mind that the likelihood of it being a genuine Stradivari would something in the neighborhood of one in a Trillion.
Is my antonius stradivarious cremonenfis faciebat anno 1728 violin real the number is not hand written and its been in my family at least 100 years?
First of all, I don't mean to be pessimistic, but the chances of you owning a Strad are slim to none. If you did own one, it would be worth millions of dollars, and the violin's tone (sound production) can tell you whether or not it could possibly be worth that much money. I you're still convinced that you do have a "real" Strad, I'm sorry to tell you that the label is incorrect if it says "Antonius Stradivarious Cremonenfis" because the correct name would actually be "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis". In addition, if the label is not handwritten, then it is almost definitely a copy of a Strad because as I'm sure you know, Stradivarius did not have a computer (or any other machine of this sort) to print out little violin labels. Many modern luthiers make replicas of Stradivarius's work to try to match his instruments, but none have succeeded. Since your violin has been in your family for at least 100 years, the label was most likely made to trick violin collectors and buyers of that time into thinking that they were about to own a Strad, so that they would pay more money. Many other luthiers also made their own instruments and labeled them as Strads so that they would be bought. Right now, we have enough technology to tell if a Strad is authentic or not, so the old labels don't serve their intended purpose. It is also possible that this label could be from a completely different violin, and that the two labels were switched. Maybe the label from this violin got lost, so one a fake one was made to replace it. Believe me, everyone would love to have a Strad, but the only way to be completely sure is to get the violin authenticated.
How can one tell if a violin is a true Stradivarius and not a copy?
AnswerIf you find a Stradivarius You can be assured that it will most likely be a copy. Most of them are in bank vaults or in the care of the world's top violinists. The chances that an owner of a real Stradivarius will allow you to touch his/her instrument is more or less zero, even if you are a professional violinist yourself and even then it would be considered a rude request should you ask to do so. Also, during the early part of the 20th Century thousands of fairly crude "Stradivarius" violins were churned out in the first mass production factories in some European countries. These were true Stradivarius models since Stradivarius basically standardized the modern shape of the violin with his longer sloped neck. Invariably they were terrible instruments and are virtually worthless today. Modern factory-made violins are much better and some are even quite excellent. But your chance of actually running into a real Stradivarius? Very low, the only way you could find one is if it was stolen or a Strad. that had been lost for a long time. Even so, if you think it might be one, you should take it to an experience violin maker to be sure you aren't sitting on an attic treasure! It's not impossible to come across one but very rare: what makes it possible World War II the spoils of war if prominent wealthy holders were jewish then that would be key. You would find the makers markers label most removed to smuggle and second pray it was maintained over the years (it must be played to maintain it's sound and kept in ideal conditions) commonly loss of label for smuggling and poor maintenance it most likly loose any potential as a $3 million dollar instrument most are really fakes selling the notion as surviving the holocust and Hitler's regime. If it was well there is a registry of jewish stolen properties so good luck!
Is your 1736 josef kloz violin an original or fake?
The first Josef in the Klotz family was born in 1743. He was Sebastian's son so the violin may be a fake. Take it to a good violin dealer, someone who deals in older violins, not student violins and have them look at it.

Is there a register of Stradivarius violins?
There no collecters, there are owners. one should be so lucky as to own just one. Read the history of Stradivarius and you will understand. It's not as simple as stated above! Antonio Stradivari's instruments became famous during his lifetime, as have many other "modern" violins have become famous in their maker's lifetime. Because of this, Stradivari's instruments were coveted by many people, especially professional violinists and the wealthy who appreciated them. Some of the wealthiest collectors even owned several fine examples by the same maker at the same time. It is important to know that not all of the old master's instruments have been 'accounted for'. Some were destroyed through various accidents, wars, or some other calamity. Some have even been stolen and never seen since: but a few have been recovered in a short time and even fewer - after several decades of invisibility. Also, if you ever hear someone say they have a Stradivarius, it's probably a less than equal copy that says "copy of Stradivarius" inside the body.
Your dad found a violin and the label on the inside says Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1715 and then a cross with and A and S on at the bottom of the cross there are no other marks?
Well, what about it? I can tell you that unless it says Antonius Stadovarius replica, that it is probably worth a lot of money. Maybe even up to $10,000 if it is in good condition. If it says on the label "Made in Czechoslovakia", then it is most definitely a fake. I'm actually inclined to believe that most if not all of these Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17xx violins are fakes. --------- Most Stradivari labeled instruments are fake and a large percentage don't say copy of or replica. There are only about 500 of his instruments still in existence, so if yours is real it's probably stolen. David Lashof
What is a fake 20 Pence worth?
A fake coin is worth nothing. Alternatively, it is worth 20 Pence if you can pass it off without anybody noticing. Again, if you can place a value on that sort of thing, it might be worth 20 years food and lodgings in one of Her Majesty's prisons for forgery.
Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1736?
Have you found a violin with the label "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis"? Keep cool. It's almost certainly a fake. In the past some restorers have stuck labels (genuine or forged) inside instruments of various origins and there has been a proper business in labels, apart from the selling of violins. There have also been cases of old-time violin makers who would put the names of other contemporary makers on their own violins. Factories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries also labeled instruments as such by the thousands.Nowadays, no violin expert would judge the value of a violin by its label.Labels such as "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17", followed or not by circles with crosses, initials or other particular signs are made (in series) to be completed before being stuck on the instrument: actually "... Anno 17" shows only the first two numerals of any year of the 18th century. A complete label should read "... Anno 1715" or "... Anno 1707", or at least an year of the 18th century.There are also cases where you can't even seriously talk of fakes. A label like the following: "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis / Faciebat Anno 1721 / Made in Bohemia" is a joke rather a fake, considering that Stradivari never learned English. However, if you wish to learn more about the quality of the instrument you should take it to a violin maker, who will let you know if it is a good quality instrument. He may not be able to give you details of the period or school, but will be able to tell you if it was made by a good craftsman or on an assembly line. The addresses of violin makers, under the headings of States, can be found in the Reports of magazines for enthusiasts such as "Strad" or "String".If, after the first check, the violin maker recognizes a particular quality in the instrument, it may be worth while asking for a specialist's appraisal (Expertise) on the part of an expert and connoisseur (usually a restorer or well-known maker) who will issue a certificate of attribution and an estimate of the instrument's value. The cost of the expert's survey is, as a rule, quite modest if it concerns merely a verbal evaluation. There is, instead, a fixed price and a percentage of the instrument's value when a certificate evaluation is wanted.If you so wish, you can have a first opinion from the expert violin makers of the Cremona School of Violin Making (Scuola di Liuteria) sending photographs or colour slides taken in the most professional manner, with shots of the whole instrument and of its details. The evaluation may not be infallible (to value an instrument is not the same thing as valuing its photo), but it is possible to get a general indication. It's the best that can be done without having the instrument to hand.
Is a gretzky rookie card with a fake autograph still worth money?
No. An autograph devalues a card. It makes the card worth as much as the autograph, and a fake autograph is worth nothing.
How much is a fake 1797 liberty coin worth?
It is only worth the value of the metal it is made of so if it is made of silver it is worth something. If it's fake then it has no collector value.
