[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 6538203, member: 80952"]I just bought a Lucius Marcius Censorinus coin, inspired by older posts. I am not a specialist (at all) in RR coins but I liked the symbolism on this coin so I decided to get one. Here is my example: [ATTACH=full]1261786[/ATTACH] Some questions for RR specialists, please - I attributed it as RRC 363 [URL]http://numismatics.org/crro/results?q=363[/URL] But what are the differences between 1a,b,c,d ? On the website only the D variant is described as Marsyas naked, but I think he's depicted naked on all? - any suspicion of modern fake? I saw some examples of modern forgeries for this coin but I can't tell the difference ... Also, any tooling? I hope I'm paranoid here but some details seem way too sharp - what is the meaning of the sign where L and C should be in "L CENSOR" - is it a countermark or something similar? Many thanks.[/QUOTE]
