<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 4094477, member: 86815&quot;] <ul> <li>Here is my Caligula that I would welcome opinions and advice on. There are three cast copies two on Forum and one Wildwinds but mine appears a little sharper for example the dot after Imperator. The domitrovgrad example doesn&#039;t appear to have the central do in the reverse. It hasn&#039;t given me concern before as I knew I could return it and I was excited to obtain it was part of my 12 Caesars campaign but I&#039;m gradually checking everything now provenance or not. Hindsight being the only precise Science it was too inexpensive. I would be more cautious now and check on receipt but time has been the enemy on checking up to now.To see a virtually identical coin marked as a dangerous casting does not fill me with confidence and I have more or less made my mind up negatively but would value other opinions.</li> </ul><p>I&#039;m concerned about the black flecks over the coin. I&#039;ve looked at it with a 500 power microscope but to be frank, I don&#039;t know what I am looking for. I can see plenty of scratches and most are worn and I have tried really hard to find a die seam but can&#039;t find one. I&#039;m having difficulty finding bubbles bt these could have been smoothed out. Maybe this was used to make a mould or maybe it is a fake but I would welcome opinions. The edge is pretty ragged and I believe I can see flow marks in the fields but of course I&#039;m trying to convince myself.</p><p>I tried to upload some microscope images but they saved as bmp&#039;s and won&#039;t transfer.[ATTACH=full]1065585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1065586[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
