<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 8215732, member: 118540&quot;]I&#039;ve also purchased from Nachf, a bronze coin no less (not a Faustina), and I&#039;m also slightly disappointed. I hope my coin is not tooled or fake.</p><p>I noticed, that the ownership of Nachf changed in 2007. Perhaps they lost some of their knowledge and expertise, when that happened. Hopefully, they have gained it back, since then. I don&#039;t know.</p><p>I guess all auction houses make mistakes, now and then. However, this seems rather obvious, although I&#039;m no expert on Faustina bronze coins, and I&#039;m no expert on tooling. Maybe, Nachf forgot to look closely, at the OP coin.</p><p>I found the Nachf auction, and the OP coin. I didn&#039;t find it on ACsearch, but I found it on Nachf&#039;s web site. It&#039;s Lot 424.</p><p>Link to the seller photos : <a href="https://images.auex.de/img/5//62/00424q00.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://images.auex.de/img/5//62/00424q00.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://images.auex.de/img/5//62/00424q00.jpg</a></p><p>Link to Auction 400 on April 22, 2010 : <a href="https://peus-muenzen.auex.de/Auktion/KatalogArchiv" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://peus-muenzen.auex.de/Auktion/KatalogArchiv" rel="nofollow">https://peus-muenzen.auex.de/Auktion/KatalogArchiv</a></p><p>The OP coin sold for 200 euros, in 2010.</p><p>The seller description is in German, and is as follows.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;RÖMISCHE MÜNZEN | Kaiserliche Prägungen | misc</p><p>Lot 424</p><p>Antoninus Pius für Faustina II.
