<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3272060, member: 19463&quot;]Is it really necessary for every member to show every coin of every ruler even when the same type has already been shown?&nbsp; Post like this become ponderous when we don&#039;t keep it moving.&nbsp; I know we have a member with several hundred coins of an emperor coming soon and most of us will have a few of his.&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking of Probus here but when we get to the Constantinian dynasty the situation repeats over and over. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I do have a Zenobia if you don&#039;t mind it being tooled from a Flavian as trying to make the R2/rare Alexandrian tetradrachm.&nbsp; ....or perhaps they were trying for a nonexistant bronze denomination???&nbsp; The fabric is so wrong it took me a while to figure out what they were trying to do.&nbsp; My favorite part is turning the SC of the as into LE dating the reverse.&nbsp;&nbsp; I will point out tht LE and Elpis are the correct details for a Zenobia from Alexandria so this coin has a lot of thought and execution points even though it is 100% fake.&nbsp; I bought this as a fake but would really like to know who made it, when and if anyone ever was fooled by the coin.&nbsp; If I could prove that this was sold to a filthy rich aristocrat in 1700 this fake would be worth a lot more than the $10 I paid for it.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if Zenobia was actually all that cute but starting with a Vespasian era face was really quite a stretch.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]863209[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
