<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 3239422, member: 41219&quot;]So apparently this is not a modern fake, but an ancient counterfeit. I picked it up at the Baltimore Whitman show last month. I grabbed it because of the relatively clear obverse and reverse that I thought I would be able to easily identify. By the end of the day I spent with it I was nearly pulling out what little hair I have left. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to the helpful people here, I was reassured that I:</p><p>a) was using my resources to correctly identify the coins</p><p>b) the coin in question was a counterfeit using a Maximus Thrax obverse paired with a Severus Alexander reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>So this doesn&#039;t quite fit the fakes or mistakes in the original post but I definitely learned quite a lot from it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]847656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
