<p>[QUOTE="romismatist, post: 7381764, member: 44106"]The Tacitus antoninianii I have seen are typically silvered. The coin in the picture looks more like it is solid silver rather than a silver wash, which is out of character for this period. The comment that this coin is modeled after an aureus also makes sense, as I haven't seen this type as an antoninianus before. Still, from a style point of view it may have fooled me, if the visible silver quality of the coin didn't give it away. Pity, it does look like a nice coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unlike some of the other CT members, I'm not too bothered about seeing a few of John's "real or fake" coins daily.
