    I inherited some old coins, and I have no idea what this one is.
    Does anyone know?

    This is a well-known forgery of a coin of Philip I, with a portrait of Caracalla.

    It has been published and condemned by the IBSCC Bulletin on Counterfeits BOCS Vol 18 No.1 1993 Page 32 Fig 10...

    Hello JA,
    I'd like to know more about this "IBSCC Bulletin on Counterfeits". Is an available/affordable book or is it available on the Internet (like at forgerynetwork.com)?

    Unfortunately, only 8 issues were published from 2000-2002. It was an ANA publication - don't know why they discontinued it.

    Thanks. It's not the answer I had hoped for, but I appreciate the information.
