Severus was 100% a modern forgery (probably 100+ years old). It was confirmed by Barry Murphy of NGC as a cast fake, and using 100x magnification on the edge I was able to photograph the cast seam, which had deceptively been worn down somehow and wasn&#039;t really noticeable&nbsp; under 10x magnification...but once I put the edges under high power magnification and shined a lot of LED lighting to it, it popped out. If you search my original post on the coin, you can see the pictures of the casting seam and gate. I&#039;d post it now, but I don&#039;t remember what I did with my JPG copy of the picture of the coin&#039;s edge. Just do a search for Septimius Severus fake and my name in the forum, and you&#039;ll find it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
