[QUOTE="RichardT, post: 7808388, member: 100005"]I was telling myself I'll take a break from such threads. But just in case the OP is [B]really [/B]thinking about returning the denarius (I assume you're only asking about the denarius, as the thread title indicates). The style of the Hadrian denarius looks completely fine. Compare this other example: [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7883526[/URL] Since the style is correct, if it's a fake it has to be a cast or a transfer die fake. Transfer die fakes for such a common coin will be quite unlikely. A cast fake is possible. I say "possible" because, to me, the image resolution is simply too poor to tell. I can't see the fields clearly for example. However the edge does look ok. Weight and diameter of the Hadrian denarius would be helpful.[/QUOTE]
