<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2400481, member: 19463&quot;]Yours is Lawrence 28 as listed in a booklet <b>The Paduans</b> by Richard Hoe Lawrence.&nbsp; IMHO that makes it a full fledged Paduan.&nbsp; There were other workers in the Renaissance cutting dies for replica sestertii or medallions which are not listed in Lawrence.&nbsp; Some are every bit as good as the Cavinos and I am unclear on how Lawrence separated the Cavino work from that of other workers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The BIG problem is struck original Paduans and other Renaissance replicas are outnumbered by cast copies of the originals.&nbsp; We call these copies &#039;aftercasts&#039; and apply modifiers like &#039;early&#039; and &#039;late&#039; according to someone&#039;s opinion of whether the coin is a cast <b>or</b> a cast of a cast <b>or</b> a cast of a cast of a cast....&nbsp; I would call yours an early aftercast since it has decent detail but I don&#039;t see it as a struck original. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have two.&nbsp; The Mars is a Lawrence 69 late aftercast.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]494582[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The other is not listed in Lawrence but copies a medallion of Septimius and probably was done about the same time but is an after aftercast that probably spent tome as a pocket piece so it is hardly a high demand item.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]494581[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>My other non-Lawrence item is a sestertius (not a medallion) copying the Divus Pertinax sestertius.&nbsp; The cast was not made from a real Roman sestertius but from original die work of a later time (Renaisannce or later???).&nbsp; When things like this show up, they sell.&nbsp; All are fakes but there seems to be a time when collectors become more forgiving and we seem to have a soft spot (in heart or head?) for the &#039;Paduans&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=232557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=232557" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=232557</a></p><p>The above is a struck example of your coin.&nbsp; Yours is not worth the same number.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=216188" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=216188" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=216188</a></p><p>The above is an early aftercast of what CNG called a Cavino even though it is not in Lawrence.
