[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 24905135, member: 85693"]I agree it's fake. Looking at the examples posted by [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] is instructive - the "pressed" look a lot of these have is pretty obvious after you've looked at a lot of them. That being said, I have three Marc Antony legionary denarii bought over the years on eBay - I am fairly confident they are genuine (I could be wrong - it happens): [ATTACH=full]1600781[/ATTACH] One of these is a kind of scarce LEG XII ANTIQVAE and came with a FORVM provenance (the one on the right): [B]Roman Imperatorial Denarius Marcus Antonius (Fall 32 B.C. - Spring 31 B.C.) Patrae, Greece Military Mint[/B] ANT•AV[G] III•VIR•R•P•C, praetorian galley to right / Aquila between two signa; LEG [XII ANTI]QVAE Crawford 544/9; RSC 40. (3.59 grams / 17.3 x 16 mm) eBay Nov. 2017 $35.00 [B]Provenance:[/B] eBay seller included flip insert and paper tag noting: "ex-FORVIM Ancient Coins Oct. 2016 ($90.00)" Weight and dimensions taken from FORVM information.[/QUOTE]
