<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2445237, member: 76194&quot;]I think it&#039;s suspicious that all the coins have a similar hole on them, almost as if was jewelry coinage. I won&#039;t speak about the rest, but the first coin (Emperor Vespasian) does not look right to me at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>For comparison, the first is the obverse of your coin:[ATTACH=full]510276[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Compare it to the obverse of this other Vespasian, a real one, and see what I mean</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]510277[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What jumps out to me is the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The style of the writing on your coin is not very Roman-like.</p><p>2. The rim on your coin looks too suspiciously machine made. Compare that to the irregular hand-made rim design that the ancient engraver made on mine.</p><p>3. I&#039;m not sold on the portrait on yours. It just looks off to me. I&#039;m not a Vespasian expert by any means, but I have a weird feeling about it.</p><p>4. Your flan is just too neat for a hand struck coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
