<p>[QUOTE="Volodya, post: 2662578, member: 19615"]A little backstory for your new coin, if you're interested: In 2003, not too long after I began my study of RR imitations, I found this coin languishing in the HJB black cabinet, unjustly branded with a scarlet F as an out and out fake. I was convinced it was ancient, although patently not an official Roman product, so I redeemed it from numismatic purgatory. I spotted it as Eraviscan when I realized that the dies were represented in Rob Freeman's Eraviscan die study in <i>Essays Hersh</i>. It's a very strange coin. I've since seen other coins from the same dies and they display none of the unusual physical characteristics of this piece. I don't quite know what to make of it, but I guess I still lean towards my earlier explanation: An ancient imitation (or ancient forgery) of an earlier Eraviscan imitation. </p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy it!
