[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2226557, member: 72818"]I felt the same way and even sent a message to the seller...he responded with several return messages identifying the coin as a rare Nigrinianus and suggested I google it for confirmation. Not once did he state it was a replica or reproduction. Of course, there were few bare-headed examples on acsearch---most were radiates---and even one fake that was sold for a similar price as this one, but identified as such. He even has offered another vaguely described type with the same 'soft' appearance. It still amazes me that such blatant fakes are presented as genuine coins, especially those of a scarce Emperor and rare in all types.
