<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 791469, member: 9204&quot;]Well, I have received the Carson article and compared this coin&#039;s dies to those in the article and on coinarchives. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is not a die match from any of the known 20th century fakes. However, neither does it match any genuine coins sold in the past eight years. When considered alongside the fact that the legend on your coin is tight and bunched up, except for the word &quot;VALENS,&quot; the true identity of the coin is clear. What you have is a genuine coin of Licinius I, from the Alexandria mint, that has been tooled and recut to read as a coin of Valerius Valens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
