:rollling: This Trajan denarius arived in the mail today. Circa 103 AD. Dacian arms on the reverse. Van meter 7/17.

 

Is it even real, from the pics it looks off to me.

 

Well, its not a fouree. But it may be cast ???? Trajan cheek looks puffed out, but there is coresponding impact damage on the reverse. Opines welcomed ???

 

Yours like a match to the fakes below

Definitely a match :/

 

Thanks Randy & Mat. I will see if I can get a refund from the seller in Belgium.

 

Thanks kidzzzz for the warning. I looked at the coin under my steroscope and saw tell tale slag remants. I did a specific gravity calculation the coin was not silver. The diameter of the coin was correct, but the thickness was slightly larger than normal. This made the coin weigh out at the correct 3 grams. Once again thanks, 100 heads are better than 1.

 

Glad to help Ripley, sucks you ended up with one. But we all have. Hopefully you get a refund.

 

Seller said he would refund tomorrow. If I do not get it, I will post his name and address.

 

:smile Good news, I received a full refund.

 

Good to hear!

Lovely coin!

 

I see this thread is from 2011...that was a good year. I wish I was 26 again. Instead, I'm turning 31 in 6 days. I'm getting so old.

Anyway, Holy thread revival



And here are the ones I have from the 5 good Emperors

Trajan


Hadrian


Antoninus Pius


3 out of 5 ain't bad, but I'll have to work on completing the set.
