<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Multatuli, post: 3196138, member: 89266&quot;]I really appreciate your comments, [USER=44210]@ValiantKnight[/USER]. When I acquired this coin, based on its rarity, as soon as I arrived in Brazil, the first thing I did was to take it to an old friend of mine, an Italian numismatist specializing in late roman bronze, who before moving to Brazil had with his father a traditional numismatic house in Torino. He examined it and saw nothing to suggest a forgery. I also saw nothing wrong. I observed clear signs of natural aging, including under the microscope. I did not notice signs of forgery, based on my little 30-year experience in collecting ancient coins, nor evidence of a current forged restruck on some common fifth-century Nummus trying to create a super rarity. Of course, I&#039;m just an amateur in this stuff and I can be completely mistaken. In addition, the coin has been developing bronze disease points on the surface, with 2 small points of corrosion, at the moment with no evidence of progression. As for the style, I think it a little bit complicated to condemn such a coin, relying only on a few images of the internet, especially in a type that has only a few copies available. If we look at it, the image of the currency of the British Museum seems very suspect, compared to the style of yours, as well as the image you presented in drawing (I have no doubt that your coin is real).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]826070[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]826072[/ATTACH]&nbsp; Opinions will always be very welcome, and always Mané great a thread like this. I don’t know the origin of the coins from the Savoca stores, but I fully agree that those at the Emporium Hamburg are in fact very suspect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
