Vespasian AE As - PROVIDEN S C - Altar Can anyone tell me if this coin looks authentic from the photos, or if it is a well known fake, any info like that... I have researched and only found ones with shorter obv titles and COS III instead of COS IIII like this one http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s2360.html#RIC_0315 anyone?
It is never safe to say a coin is good for certain using only a photo but I see nothing to raise suspicion. Here is a similar one: http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=344429
Someone else ended up buying it for around $50. Looks like he got a pretty good price, as it was nearly as nice as that one. Thanks doug, always helpful.
I thought it looked pretty good.... wasn't sure if maybe it was a well known type of fake or something like that. Thanks for the help.
