<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 3361417, member: 80783&quot;]Not really. As far as I can see all pictures are copied from ACsearch.info and therefore show coins offered in dozens of auctions over two decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>They do not all show gold coins, either. The portrait of Pupienus for example is from a silver Denarius and that of Balbinus from an Antoninianus. Their pictures were artificially re-colored in a golden tone to fool the buyer.</p><p>Balbinus did not issue gold Binios (that´s what a golden radiate would be), and I have not seen a published photo of a genuine Aureus of Pupienus yet.</p><p>Same goes for Gordian I and II: There is only one gold coin of Gordian I in existence and this is not it, while there are no genuine gold coins of Gordian II known at all. Both pictures therefore show Denarii and are re-colored.</p><p>Aemilianus is an Ant, too. He did not issue radiate gold coins and the makers of the poster were too lazy to look for a picture of an Aureus of his outside of ACsearch. This is only from a first glance so I bet there are other &quot;fakes&quot; there, too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
