[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3662674, member: 87809"]I think I have a problem coin, would appreciate very much an opinion: Trying to attribute this denarius and looking at it with a magnifying glass I saw it has a number on the reverse, below IVSTITIA. At first I thought it was ink, but no - somebody must have etched a number on it. The question is if it is a fake or some kind of copy issued e.g. by a museum, it is ok and I won't think more about it. If it isn't a fake, I could send it for restoration but I don't know if it is worth it, maybe it is better to leave it as is? 18 x 19 mm, 3.11g looks like RIC II Hadrian 19A; Ob.: (IMP) CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, laureate bust r., drapery on l. shoulder Rev.: P M TR P COS DES II Justitia enthroned l., holding patera and scepter; in exergue IVSTITIA [CENTER][ATTACH=full]984874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]984875[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
