[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 3022378, member: 80783"]OK, I´ll try to make a start :) The eight (presumably genuine) coins of the type illustrated in the OP seem to come from five obverse dies, which I have sorted by the letter that the laurel wreath points to: AV 1: wreath points to T: Coins 5 and 8 AV 2: wreath points to G: Coins 1, 2, and 7 AV 3: wreath points to G/O: Coin 6 AV 4: wreath points to O/R: Coin 4 AV 5: wreath points to R: Coin 3 Using my eyesight only I could identify (at least) 5 reverse dies here (there seems to me some tooling however): RV 1: Coins 1 and 2 RV 2: Coin 3 RV 3: Coins 4 and 5 RV 4: Coin 6 RV 5: Coins 7 and 8 I hope I am not too far off and would be glad for any helpful comments. [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] would certainly be better at this :) If there is a fake among coins Nr. 1-8, I would say it is most likely coin Nr.3, which shares no die links with any of the other coins and has a different portrait style. When I find the time, I shall continue with the next type...[/QUOTE]
