Probably 156. Coins in the 120’s have clear dates. The 150’s get very sloppy and often time illegible. Not near any books to look for a die match....
That’s not exactly how UK treasure trove laws work panzerman. The finders don’t decide if they sell a hoard to a museum or not. The Treasure trove...
Another from the same reverse die[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
On the Pannonia, the head has been completely tooled. The veil and the face are complete fabrications. On both figures, the drapery has been...
They look like different dies due to the tooling. Match up key points.... shapes of arms, shapes of wreath tie, locations of letters etc. They are...
I actually posted another coin from the same dies. Compare the two. Barry
100% Cast forgery. 4 grams too light and clear signs of casting. Barry Murphy
It's a bit shameful that Berk didn't call this coin tooled in their description, just EF. Barry
hmmm photos didn't load. Let's try again. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Looks fine. Justinian I. AD 527-565. Barry
It may not be obvious from the photo, but the weight should have been an indication that there was an issue. It’s half a gram light. There are 2...
Stack's really screwed up this catalog by not including more photos. While certainly not the most valuable or important collection of ancient...
You only briefly mentioned the fourre but went off on the pedigree. It was my interpretation as to which annoyed you more. A ticket from JQA would...
I find it curious that you're more annoyed at the lack of a pedigree than you are about being sold a fourre as an authentic coin. Anyway,...
@robp just curious if you’ve had the pattern tested. Aluminum wasn’t isolated as an element until 1825, it would be impossible for it to have been...
It would make sense that Peter Weller held an ancient coin in a movie as he was an avid ancient coin collector. It was probably his own coin....
You’re missing 1 type. It was a coin I found in a small hoard that Hans Voegtli had at the 1992 Chicago International. At one point I had a...
