<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vytis, post: 25602449, member: 143584&quot;]I posted my set a few days ago, but I felt like this subject matter needed its own post. The more I look into this supposed Otho denarius, the more I feel like it is a fake, especially after looking into the seller themselves. When I first bought the coin off Ebay, the seller, Professorata, was listed as shipping from Belgium. There was something definitely suspicious as the seller&#039;s profile stated Bulgaria when I looked at the order again. Upon doing more research, I found out the seller&#039;s name came up on AugustusCoins fake seller list. What do you think about this coin? I fortunately immediately felt something was off and requested a return. In person, the softness of certain details was much more visible.</p><p>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_20240909_163009-jpg.1638008/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_20240909_163009-jpg.1638008/"><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/data/attachments/1597/1597291-a423d3a8813838d7cf777527cccda02c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> <img src="https://www.cointalk.com/data/attachments/1597/1597292-c78980b0353af6563fad50e0fc737c31.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_20240909_164345-jpg.1638007/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_20240909_164345-jpg.1638007/"><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/data/attachments/1597/1597290-1bd1e1f69553545d01fed81fb0a6a3fc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Bust of Otho right</p><p>Reverse: Securitas standing left</p><p>18mm, 3.28gm</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a coin of Vespasian for comparison from from Taterthecat, one of the reputable sellers I know.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_20240909_163740-jpg.1638021/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_20240909_163740-jpg.1638021/"><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/data/attachments/1597/1597304-7ac50bbaf642e4aac827ae1048727c40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_20240909_163811-jpg.1638022/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_20240909_163811-jpg.1638022/"><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/data/attachments/1597/1597305-c04eb317e1326071fc9f5478190ec2fb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>Obverse: Laureate bust of Vespasian right</p><p>Reverse: Salus seated, holding patera</p><p>19mm, 3.47g[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
