<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4551907, member: 19463"]Is the one posted by gogili also? I am no expert and have never touched a Probus quinarius but none shown here strike me as consistent in style or fabric with the run of the mill Probus antoniniani. I do wish that anyone from the rankest beginner to the best available expert would stop saying only that a coin is fake without commenting on the kind of fake it is. For example: Cast from a genuine coin, pressed from original modern dies or a dozen other options. Has there been test of the metal on these to see how they compare to the ants? What evidence is there that there are any original coins? Have they been found hoarded with other coins of the period? Do they show any evidence of being struck in the same facility as the regular coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
