I'm suspicious of this coin

Uh oh. A cast of a modern fake. Bummer.

Sadly, I agree.

 

@maridvnvm, where did you find those photos? I don't see them in my go-to places for fake reports.

Sorry

 

Thanks Martin, I missed it somehow....I saw the others but not the Galerius fake. Looks like they decided to beat it up a tad bit and put on little patina. Bummer, but now I know for sure.

 

Isn't it sad that we are now getting to the point where the fakes are being faked? I've said it before and I'll say it again, how long before we see a fake of a fake of a fake? Any day now...

 

Thanks. It's weird, I searched there and it didn't show up the first time, but now it does. I must have done something wrong...

 

I really thought I search all the coins also, but I didn't see it either!

 

I suspect that you had the word Galerius in the search. I did too to start with and it didn't show up but knew I had seen these dies in the reports somewhere (that's just how my brain works). I found the others by searching for "Aquileia Moneta". I knew there was a Chlorus and a Diocletian too of some sort. The Galerius was previously mis-attributed as Maximianus and as an admin in the reports I was able to correct it. That may well be why it turns up for you now and not before. I should perhaps have explained this before.

Dang, that sucks. Good you to noticed the signs though. The flan is definitely weird.

 

You already get Aftercasts of Casts of Paduans...

 

Thank you! You're welcome to use my pic of my coin if you want it for the fake report by the way.
