<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1262389, member: 26302&quot;]I agree something is going on. When I saw it, in 4 seconds I thought Claudius Gothicus, Egyptian, barbaric. The portrait is extremely crude, and the eagle looks like its chopped off in height, which could be PMD. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not familiar enough with these to know if this&nbsp; poor style, (I am looking at face and jawline, the rest is actually quite nice) is possible with these issues, if contemporary counterfiets are known, or what else it could be. If that portrait would have been an imperial I would almost guarantee a limes issue, (at least in my experience).</p><p><br /></p><p>It will be very interesting to find out if this portrait is possible for these issues. Btw I find limes coins fascinating, so not knocking the coin that way, it just appeared sub-imperial style. All of the mints were sent busts to copy from, and some emperors were very aware of their picture on coins, so usually they are pretty decent renditions.</p><p><br /></p><p>OTOH if Arditirion says its good, it probably is, I just am very curious why.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
