Am I correct in IDing this as fake?

    I've been checking out what's new on eBay a few days ago and a coin just jumped at me:

    And here's a denarius of Tiberius that I bought on Ebay several years ago and IDed as fake, but the seller refused to take it back and subsequently disappeared.

    So, I've emailed the seller (not sure if I've convinced them - the auction is still active). I hope I didn't make an ass out of myself.

    That's identical down to the rim ding at 12:00 on the obverse and must be a cast fake as well.

    Thank you. Yes, this was an easy one, but I'm not an expert by far so I was worried I've jumped the gun.

    No, you were right. Fake!
