[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2552452, member: 76194"]Well, now that the coin has been disclosed I'll add some more food for thought. It wasn't just the casting seam alone that worried me, but that in combination with two bumps on Titus's face and also the weird V on the obverse which reminded me of the casting remains on the T in [USER=44183]@stevex6[/USER] 's fake Caligula. I will admit that there is still a chance the coin could be real and some of the big boys may look at it and give it a clean bill of health, but there was enough there to at least have some concerns and say something about it. I didn't want to identify the coin itself in case it turned out to be genuine, but the cat is out of the bag now. Either way, I'm sure the outcome of this inquiry should be an educational experience for all of us, so I hope we get an update on the verdict once the big wigs examine the coin closely.[/QUOTE]
