[QUOTE="Ignoramus Maximus, post: 7424089, member: 104741"]Thanks for sharing. That's a nice coin. I love the misspelling. Genuine or not it's definitely a keeper! Reminds me of a coin [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]'s once posted, on which IUNO REGINA was mysteriously engraved as 'VINO REGINA' if I remember correctly. That one gave me quite a laugh! If your coin is indeed a cast forgery (and it does look soapy!) then it was most likely cast from the impression of an authentic coin, so either way, the misspelling must have come from an authentic die. Nice! Interestingly, all five molds sold yesterday probably came from one and the same stack. They all came from one previous owner and represented types from a single period. Interestingly, one mold with two obverses had Galerius on one side and Maximinus on the other. Another had obverses of both Diocletian and Maximinus (so there may well have been a few mules that originated from that stack). Those two were the ones I was really after, but, thanks to my clumsiness in logging in I missed out on them.:sour: Still happy with what I got though...:)[/QUOTE]
