    I strongly suspect this coin as a fake after I got it home in hand and looked at it under the magnified glass. Initially I thought it was just harshly cleaned due to the brightness; it contrasts next to other denars. Additionally, on the edge, it has flaked and the base metal is showing.

    Been wanting one of these for a while (the longest year), but not feeling like this is authentic. Putting this in the group for discussion and educational purposes.
