<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3553994, member: 19463"]My favorite class of imitatives are those that were not copied or miscopied directly from a regular mint original. For example this Septimius Severus obverse reads L SEVLRS AVGVSTV. The regular mints always abbreviated AVG so this cutter knew what it meant even though he made a few other errors. The reverse is a good copy PART MAX PM TRP VIIII reversed exceptfor the V in VIIII which is upside down. Decent silver (not fourree) denarius. The style is nothing like any official mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]944647[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
