#2 definitely looks cast to me. #1 and #5 also look suspect. IMHO, if one is a fake, they would all be suspect... personally, I wouldn't touch any...
Sad to hear of your situation, Severus Alexander. My thoughts go out to you as you battle this insidious disease. In the mean time, Carpe Diem -...
Am I missing something or are there only 9 coins in your top 10?o_O
I don't see anything wrong with the coin from the pictures either. I have come across fakes of these before, but they are of a very different...
Agree with @Orange Julius and @TIF... please don't assume that a lack of responses is a lack of interest. This is fascinating stuff, but an area I...

Fellow CT'ers, Just finishing up browsing EBay where our favourite seller from Munich has posted a ton of fakes (which he is selling as such)....

Awesome haul - like the Probus, but I bet all coins will clean up well...
It looks authentic to me as well at first glance, although as per my previous posts, that's not always an indication that it isn't fake. Still, I...
