<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2435520, member: 76086"]I didnt know it was a coin on offer from a current auction. A customer sent me the photo for an opinion. I gave it, which he didnt like, so I said I would post it here for other opinions. So, my assessment? I think it is modern. While the style is similar in crude style to those of Commodus, one sees that style specifically on Severan Denarii from the Balkan area. While the 'flow' lines lend it some credibility, on closer inspection they are the result of a coin being presses rather than struck. So, no, I dont like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
