I&#039;ve seen one of these for sale on MA-Shops, and I&#039;ve seen one of these for sale on Vcoins.</p><p>I only figured out, that this was a fake, after looking at the fake coin reports on Forum Ancient Coins, and also when I saw other examples on coin forums, in which the posts mentioned that they were fake.</p><p>The main distinguishing features, are the shape of the flan, and on the obverse, the raised slash on the right, just outside of the border.</p><p>In my microscope photos of the edges of the coin, there seem to be lines, which may be file marks, which may be covering a casting seam, but I&#039;m not certain of that.</p><p>Here are photos of my example, which sits in my black cabinet.</p><p>Seller photos.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1501863[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1501864[/ATTACH]</p><p>My photos.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1501865[/ATTACH]</p><p>FAKE Justinian I Follis Year 12.
