<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3981009, member: 82549"]The provincials are the ones I'm most suspicious of. The obverse legend on the third one makes no sense to me. It appears to end with AVGG, suggesting a joint reign (thus, eliminating Elagabalus and suggesting Caracalla; could it be Gallienus or Volusian!?!). But I've never seen a coin with AVGG on the obverse--it's usually on the reverse legend. I think it might be fake, which makes me suspect the others, too. Yet I can't imagine why anyone would make fake coins in that condition. Seems like it would hardly be worth the effort.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
