<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3319215, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t know if this is real or fake but I can not accept the comments that it must be a cast fake with bad style and poor legends.&nbsp; The coin claims to be from Odessos.&nbsp; That city had very different style than the other cities that used the twin portrait style.&nbsp; Cast fakes copy the style of the coin used for a master so saying the style is wrong means that you believe the thing is a fake cast from another fake.&nbsp; Searching on acsearch turns up quite a few coins that are every bit as poor style as this one. </p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=odessa+gordian&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;currency=usd&amp;company=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=odessa+gordian&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;currency=usd&amp;company=" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=odessa+gordian&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;currency=usd&amp;company=</a></p><p>The same city has some good work as well.&nbsp; My only coin of the city is Septimius and well executed. </p><p><br /></p><p>After looking at those coins I see nothing obvious here that makes me condemn the coin.&nbsp; Equally, I would not say I believe in it and don&#039;t see any reason for me to venture a guess based on this one photo.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;d not be surprised if it is genuine.&nbsp; Would I buy it?&nbsp;&nbsp; No. Who here is an expert in this city? Who has a Gordian from here?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
