The type itself is fake, according to BMC (via Doug). I thought the obverse style looked off on first glance and the BMC note confirms it. It isn't uncommon for cast fakes to be made from struck or pressed fakes.

 

Ah when that is said i have been to fast saying this coin is real.
Thank you for this comment

 

I think your denarius is good, Ro. It has sharp features and you can see the flow lines from striking and everything.

 

this for me total not a coment

 

thanks

 

and dont forget the coin desease it has greeny

 

I think that is just putty, possibly even from making the cast.

 

Doug and Mat and the BMC- totally fake type according to BMC. See Doug's original post in the other thread.

I'm not so sure that it's bronze disease but in any case, bronze disease is not a sign of authenticity. It is a chemical reaction. It does not care if the metal was refined in ancient times or yesterday.

 

wrong anwer for me, indeed medical those do i hope

 

I was referring to the reverse type rather than the two specific examples with this bust type.

If the type is in question then I am puzzled.

 

It's RIC 159/BMC 162 (illustrated). This is what the BMC has to say about it:



I don't see that it says it doesn't exist - it may be suggesting that the variety with drapery on left shoulder (rather than aegis) doesn't exist.

This is the BMC coin:


CNG has sold some examples of this type (at least 3) - it looks like a pic of one of these is stuck between the side pics of ro1974's coin in a post up above!

Anyway, are people reading something different in BMC? Is there a different note somewhere else? It seems to me to question the existence of Cohen 377, not their own BMC 162 (also RIC 159).
