<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 5346229, member: 82549&quot;]Interesting. I received this coin in a bulk lot, from either CNG or Roma, I can&#039;t remember which. I pulled my coin out of its holder and examined it. I don&#039;t see any evidence of it being cast. Yet other evidence is unsettling--the die match, the unlisted officina. I checked forum fake report (<a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=47&amp;pos=69" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=47&amp;pos=69" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=47&amp;pos=69</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>Those coins are cast. Was mine the original?</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I checked this galley fake--https://<a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=47&amp;pos=59--and" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=47&amp;pos=59--and" rel="nofollow">www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=47&amp;pos=59--and</a> saw this comment: &quot;The coins are very well made, struck not cast (transfer die).&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m guessing that there must also be struck fakes of this coin, too?</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: There are also what appear to be traces of silvering in places, for example, in front of the emperor&#039;s face on the reverse, and behind Victory. Very puzzling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
