<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2994190, member: 39084&quot;]I&#039;ve been wrong about ancient coins in the past, and I&#039;m certain I&#039;ll be wrong about ancient coins in the future.&nbsp;&nbsp; So surely it&#039;s possible that I&#039;m wrong about ancient coins in the present.</p><p><br /></p><p>To my eye, the two sets of pictures appear as if they&#039;re different coins from the same dies, struck the same way.&nbsp; On the first coin, the relief of the devices and legends on its obverse, as well as the sharpness of the strike, looks so different from the second picture that it&#039;s hard for me to understand how two different pictures of the same coin could look so different due only to lighting conditions.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin of Galba is so widely forged that if it&#039;s indeed the same coin in your two sets of pictures, then authentication might best be done by an expert.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
