<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 3732988, member: 86815&quot;]I&#039;m hoping someone can help me with this coin please ? I know Doug Smit specialises in this area.</p><p>I&#039;ve hunted for the coin in Sear, Wildwinds,catalogs and Forum fakes but to no avail. I only have Volumes 1 and 2 of Mattingly so couldn&#039;t check there.</p><p>I suspect it is a fantasy coin because I can&#039;t find it and my concern is that it is on the light side.</p><p>The reverse is similar to RCV Sear 6825 Septimius Severus but with a Julia Domna obverse. It measures 17.4mm x 18.4mm and weighs 2.72 g. I&#039;ve seen a fouree denarius with the same reverse although that one was 1.7g&nbsp; but it has given me food for thought.</p><p>I&#039;m not experienced enough to say if this is a fouree or not and it seems quite sharp, better than my photograph, I may retake it with a black or white background.</p><p>I acquired this in a trade because I liked the reverse. The seller said he didn&#039;t know what it was and the trade value was too low to be concerned. My interest is not in investment or value, I collect under the delusion that one day I will have time to properly research and catalog everything. Roll on retirement!</p><p>Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Fortunately I haven&#039;t bought a fake for a while now so I guess I&#039;m overdue.[ATTACH=full]1000914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1000915[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
