<p>[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 7693734, member: 10613"]Two things should immediately give this coin away as unofficial...PTR as the mintmark, though it should be more like TRP. The standard has an X even though this is only used from Arles. Lets face it (pun intended) the thick, heavy, bust is not right. On the reverse, the phalera, metal sculpted discs on the banner are just not right. The letters are not quite right either, though it is spelled right, and note how the soldier on the left is planking all the way to the left. It's a delightful coin and I am delighted that it got slabbed...I usually break them out, but this one I will leave in. This coin is a delight and I love it....one of my new favorites.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
