found more off my coin

I suspect your coin has been smoothed and engraved to bring out detail. The fields look off and some details look too sharp where others look too worn. Many times you've purchased from questionable sellers so maybe I think something is wrong with your coin because

i could not find my coin

 

only with 3 captives

 

extreme said , would be nice learn more, why is my coin not good

 

ro, thank you for your patience with us. We are sorry you may be unhappy with our "opinions" based on photos which may not provide accurate 3D detail. I personally suggest that you submit your coin, as I often do, to a TPG. For very little relative effort you'll receive a quality "in-hand" opinion.

Respectfully, Rich

 

From your photo above, I think it's highly likely that it has been smoothed in the fields (that's OK in my opinion) but also seems to have been tooled as well---at least in certain areas if not all....and that raises a problem. I pass by coins that raise doubts about conditions like that. It's always hard to tell anything definite from photos.

@ro1974 ... you do realize many of us are as uncertain as you and do not feel we are 'experts' and hesitate to offer even opinions? My example of Licinius II shows sharp detail, no suggestion of smoothing...and no suggestion of deep carved areas to enhance the devices

 

RO, "Please" only look for coins from well-known, trustworthy, reputable sellers. There are threads dedicated to naming some of them. You have shown that you have great taste with your coin choices, and no one wants to see you buy a bad coin. If you suspect that a coin may not be correct, move on to another.

 

There is an old adage. If a coin is too good to be true, it isn't. Your coin is too perfect. It is even better than one would expect from the source. Consequently, I feel your coin is a fake.

 

I think we all (or at least most) have bought from questionable sellers at one time or another.

 

Perhaps @dougsmit might have an opinion
