Message:: [QUOTE="Volante, post: 25216715, member: 57279"]Very disappointed and surprised! Here's the ($5k) coin I purchased (<a href="https://www.romanumismatics.com/314-lot-603-julius-caesar-ar-denarius?arr=0&auction_id=229&box_filter=0&cat_id=&department_id=&exclude_keyword=&export_issue=0&gridtype=listview&high_estimate=0&image_filter=0&keyword=&list_type=list_view&lots_per_page=100&low_estimate=0&month=&page_no=0&paper_filter=0&search_type=&sort_by=lot_number&view=lot_detail&year=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.romanumismatics.com/314-lot-603-julius-caesar-ar-denarius?arr=0&auction_id=229&box_filter=0&cat_id=&department_id=&exclude_keyword=&export_issue=0&gridtype=listview&high_estimate=0&image_filter=0&keyword=&list_type=list_view&lots_per_page=100&low_estimate=0&month=&page_no=0&paper_filter=0&search_type=&sort_by=lot_number&view=lot_detail&year=" rel="nofollow">link</a>). [ATTACH=full]1606323[/ATTACH] Julius Caesar AR Denarius. Rome, January - February 44 BC. P. Sepullius Macer, moneyer. CAESAR DICT PERPETVO, veiled and wreathed head of Caesar to right / Venus standing to left, holding Victory and sceptre resting on shield; [P•SE]PVLLI[VS] downwards on right, MACER downwards on left. Crawford 480/13; CRI 107d; BMCRR Rome 4173; RSC 39. 3.77g, 17mm, 9h. Extremely Fine. From the inventory of a UK dealer. And the aftermath:[ATTACH=full]1606324[/ATTACH] I have not yet reached out to Roma to invoke their lifetime authenticity guarantee - hopefully they do not give me any hassle. I know it's tough to judge from a photo alone, but any idea what could have tipped NGC off that this is a fake? I would have thought Roma would take greater care in authenticating a higher-value coin like this prior to offering it in auction.[/QUOTE]
