<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Swervo513, post: 25696639, member: 42720&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m trying to get a second opinion on this elephant denarius I recently purchased. It’s a bit difficult to match the die on this. But, there are so many different die types and poorly struck examples that I feel it’s generally difficult to match. </p><p><br /></p><p>My hunch is it’s real because of the flow marks. However, I having more trouble being able to tell if it has been altered or damaged and cleaned to make it look better. The cap in particular I’m not sure if that is how the cap was engraved or if there are cleaning marks scraping the cap clean. I have seen a few dies matching the way hat is engraved. I’ve also seen different facial features on the elephant matching this odd looking head on other dies. But not all features match on a single set of dies. Btw the weight comes in at 3.71 grams. I paid $750 which should be a good deal if it’s not heavily manipulated or fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>I could really use some professional help on this one. Please, let me know what you think. Here’s the coins below:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1642981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1642982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1642983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1642984[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>thanks,</p><p>Larry[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
