<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4536031, member: 72790"]Thanks for your input. As I am most anxious not to have more additions to my black box, I need to be more aware of the oddities you point out. I did check the Forum Ancient Coins and could not find a match to a known fake there. The question of the portrait is, indeed, a matter I am trying figure out, as it does not match the traditional image of Gordian, but it does appear that some of the portraits of the Antioch Mint are somewhat different from those of Rome. Could you be so kind as to amplify what you means by the "font isn't correct"? What would be the tip off that the font on this coin is somehow "off" from the norm? Thanks, I appreciate your input but if I, and others, are to become better at spotting fakes I need to know what "the font isn't correct" actually means and what I need to look for. Thanks, again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
