...errr... the first impression is what counts... sorry but I have "bad feelings", mate...

 

Looks off to me as well.

And cracks can be faked.

 

It's fake, sorry.

 

Can you tell me why you think it is fake?

 

...seam seem sola beam

 

Is that a seam in the last picture?

 

i do believe it is

 

The seam and the style of the portrait, especially the hair, all scream Bulgarian cast fake to me. Can you tell us where you bought it from?

 

Dealer in Ireland

 

@AngelDeath
Can you pm me his or her link so I can see if this was a one off mistake or if the dealer is knowingly selling fakes.
Thanks.

 

ok

 

Thanks for the PM.
That dealer has a mix of real and fake coins, for example the Augustus denarius at the bottom of the page is a clear fake. Some coins are genuine though, like the Valentinian II AE Follis or Caracalla denarius.
I think he isnt trying to pass of fakes on purpose if that is any consolation.
If I were you then I would get a refund for the OP coin.
Good luck!
