<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2817243, member: 75525&quot;]<b>An ancient forger&#039;s die (?)</b></p><p>I saw this offered a few years ago and wondered if any coins known today match the die. It attracted one bidder and sold for 3000 euros. The punch does not match my coin. I think I would have made a test coin from the die and shown it on the auction page.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]660602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]660603[/ATTACH] </p><p>Reverse die (punch) for EID MAR denarius </p><p>An iron cylinder, diameter 17-19mm., height 118 mm., enclosing a reverse punch of Brutus&#039; denarius; Cap of Liberty between two daggers, EID MAR below; all within dotted border.FE.</p><p>g. 159.2</p><p>Considerable oxidation, otherwise VF</p><p>Extremely interesting.
