<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 3172722, member: 87809&quot;]Some months ago I labelled this denarius as a fake and set it apart, because of its low weight 2.92 g and also because there have been fakes reported for this type. One more reason was that it was bought in Ephesus by a dear friend of my father, who gave it to him as a present. So I thought that his friend may not have known what he was buying. </p><p>Today I was looking at coins and found this denarius, 3.08 g quite low also, at <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=76234" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=76234" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=76234</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I am not sure anymore. Maybe there is some very slight probability (1 % ?) that mine is not a fake ? what do you think?</p><p>Obverse: DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust of Faustina right, hair waved and coiled on top of head</p><p>Reverse: AV GV STA, Fortuna, veiled, standing left, holding patera in extended right hand and long ruder set on globe in left </p><p>16 x 17 mm, 2.92 g</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]815762[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]815763[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
