this coin those not total look at my coin dacia has not efen has a head here my coin has a head come on this sucks my shield has more details and the hair i respect doug! he can have it wrong
I think the footnote in BMC on page 64 refers to a different type (Cohen 522) - it's a different obverse (Head of Trajan, laureate, right). The reverse description is different too - "Trajan, in military dress, standing, holding spear and receiving shield from kneeling figure." For what it's worth, RSC says for its entry for 522 - "This may be a misdescription of 376-377a".
*rats* that's too bad, ro ... man, I hate it when coins end-up being fakes (did you buy it?) => yah, doug's example looks like the same coin ... *rats*
@ro1974 Don't buy from eBay no more, please. It looks like there are serious questions about your coin. I'm now sure it's probably fake, but I'm not sure. Who knows. This thread is confusing
I don't know enough about Trajan's coinage to comment whether your coin is authentic or not, but Sallent's advice is sound: DON'T BUY FROM EBAY! Doug said it best too: changing metals isn't going to change the outcome if you continue to buy from questionable sources.
