<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gabsar9115, post: 8253367, member: 135699&quot;]Just came across this thread when [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] posted about her recent Valentinian I solidus. I was surprised to see the quality of the fakes from [USER=106319]@Romancollector[/USER]&#039;s&nbsp; link to this thread. I got this one from a reputable auction house. I do not see a die match, but I do see a small pellet below the L in the field on the OBV. I do not see a doubling of the border either. Not sure if it is a must for the coin to be a forgery.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any opinions? I got this one a couple of years back. I do not own the photos. These are from the auction house. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1454679[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Valentinian I, Western Roman Empire (AD 364-375).
