<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2146734, member: 42773&quot;]There are fakes of this popular type. Not only are there fakes of the original sestertius, but fakes of the Paduan reproductions of Cavino, so reproductions of reproductions. I don&#039;t like the odd wear pattern on the reverse of the OP coin. The base on which the emperor sits should have the inscription SEQQO SVFPD. Some of that lettering should be visible - it isn&#039;t so worn that it should be gone altogether. This is a red flag to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would only buy this coin if the seller had a lifetime guarantee of authenticity. Then I would promptly send it to David Sear for authentication. I don&#039;t like the second coin either, for different reasons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
