<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2711550, member: 75937&quot;]The obverse inscription on the Albinus reads D CLOD SEPT ALBIN CAES and identifies it as being issued from AD 193-195, when Albinus had the rank of Caesar under Septimius Severus. However, the major references--RIC and Sear--don&#039;t mention a denarius of Albinus as Caesar with a CONCORDIA seated reverse type.</p><p><br /></p><p>This, along with a general impression that it just doesn&#039;t look right (tooled?), makes me suspect that the coin is not genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am unable to comment about the Republican issue, but we have a couple of experts in Republican coinage who frequent the forum and could tell you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
