[QUOTE="NJM Ancients, post: 1709064, member: 51464"]Thanx Rudi for submitting this coin for me while I waited for the email to verify my new account here. Thank you to all involved for your insight and excellent follow up... I'd like to point out, after placing the pictures together I noticed the following. The coin submitted by Dionysos....where the word COPY is stamped....look closely at the location of the broken piece on my example...it's clear in my mind who ever owned this prior, intentionally broken off the letter T and that specific piece because it may have been stamped COPY above it....and its seen some time in a TUMBLER UNIT...to create wear, tear and age. I use to work for a jeweler and he used one to smooth out edges on casts. I've seen many a fake patina before but this one I have to admit can fool many a collector, had it not been for the reverse of this coin which does not exist in Hadrian consulship which he never accepted beyond COS III. This coin in my opinion was meant to deceive the collector unfamiliar with the COS VIII series of coins and Emperors.[/QUOTE]
