Message:: [QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 5201987, member: 91820"]Curtis - I just purchased this coin - yes it is heavily smoothed and possibly tooled, the photograph is too bright, it is actually dark brown of different shades.  The fact that it is not on ACSEARCH is not great.  But, it was purchased from an English collector who said he had owned for quite some time, and it is close to the coin of the same type on ACSEARCH sold by Gorny in 2009 (I think) - in fact I thought it was the same coin.  I don't like the smug expression on Geta's face which doesn't seem to be related to any other coin of his - but then again that isn't conclusive.  There should be spears sticking out of the trophy on the reverse ut again that could have been smoothed away.    What do you think? Weight: 23.98 Size: 32mm die axis - like an American coin, almost exactly - reverse is upside down when you turn it. The expression on Geta's face looks familiar - I know I have seen it before. The Forum site does not have it as a fake.[ATTACH=full]1214924[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1214926[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
