Hello, I'd like to ask you for a little help. I got a IVLIA MAMAEA AVG felicitas publica denarius 2 years ago and I am still not sure about is authenticity The portrait and the type of letters are strange for me and I cannot see any signs of being struck, eg. metal flow. The edge of the coin feels to be sharp on some places on the sides of the edge. I have checked the Fake Ancient Coins Reports on FORVM, and it is very similar to fake ones but they not match exactly. I am very interested in your opinions, please help me. Thank you in advance!
Looks ok to me despite the slightly goofy expression - why not check out acsearch and try to find out if the coin has a history? Might be tough with this type but worth a shot
I can see flowlines around FELICITAS , edge looks a bit funny in the last picture, but I would say genuine coin. Here's mine:
Looks okay. Here's my example: Julia Mamaea, Augusta, AD 222-235. Roman AR Denarius, 3.23 g, 18.6 mm. Rome, AD 230, 11th emission. Obv: IVLIA MAMAEA AVG, diademed and draped bust, r. Rev: FELICITAS PVBLICA, Felicitas seated l., holding caduceus and cornucopiae. Refs: RIC 338; BMCRE 658; RCV 8219; Cohen 24.
