<p>[QUOTE="Pellinore, post: 4698558, member: 74834"]Bought this Magnentius a short while ago on ebay, but probably I shouldn't have. The metal is tinsel-like golden colored and the reverse looks suspect - to say the least. Besides, there is a large crack with some glue overflow, probably it was broken some time, but why would you glue together a broken forgery? I welcome your comments!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1154405[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Magnentius, 350-353. AE22, Amiens. Obv. Draped and cuirassed bust right. Rev.
