<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 8036761, member: 44106&quot;]If you look at both coins, they are actually the exact same obverse and reverse dies. The first was the one that sold as genuine, the second is being sold as a fake a week later. They are both fakes, if you ask me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Forgers are getting much better at &quot;distressing&quot; silver coins to make them look like they have authentic wear (micro-abrasions, dings, etc). There was another fake denarius of Vespasian being offered with similar treatment... if it wasn&#039;t for the obviously fake style of the portrait, I may have been taken in. It just goes to show you that you can never be too careful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
