<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 2446255, member: 75936&quot;]I think it was the Anthemius fake monogram - it looked sort of like Anthemius, but wasn&#039;t one of the published monograms. There&#039;s a lot of tooling going on in this space. Check out this coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]510671[/ATTACH]</p><p>Sold to me as a Julius Nepos - and the monogram looks about right. Check out the obverse lettering (DN) IVL N(EPOS AVG). I had an expert look at it, probably someone you&#039;ve heard of <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> His opinion was the lettering wasn&#039;t typical for a late Roman Bronze (too fine), and was probably tooled. The reverse monogram was probably a slightly altered Ricimer monogram (on a Severus III nummus). Whatever the coin was, it&#039;s ruined completely now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
