[QUOTE="Lolli, post: 3564616, member: 96900"]"was purchased by David who has 16 years of experience with Flavian coinage" Killer argument so this means he is a god and that he can not be fooled by a fake ? It is not about die matches, as I made clear in my first post !!! Coins with good and old pedigree or coming from a good collection are often not checked very carefully because people assume they must be authentic with this pedigree or coming from this collecction. To have almost or most likely identical flan shape (on cast twins there are often very minor differences) IDENTICAL CENTERING and IDENTIAL WEAR to condemned cast twins (one was sold as cast fake other wrongly as Cavino) from the same dies are very strong indicators for been cast fake especially if the details and the patina do not look good too and his coin has no NEW DETAILS WHICH ARE NOT already visible on the authentic mother Peus which is the mother of the other cast fakes. The Peus piece perviously sold by Künker is authentic mother. Cast fakes are never 100% identical with the authentic mother and casting twins from same mould !!!! Mathematical probability that his coin is authentic is low due to the fact that it has so many individulal characteristics flan shape, centering and wear in common with the twins and the host. But as always even if something is unlikely it doesn´t meant that it is impossible. Pedigree and that person xy thinks that the coin is authentic is a very bad argument. It is nothing special that even coins with good old pedigree turn out to be fakes or that experts get fooled by fakes. I do authenticate the coin alone! I do not care for the seller or the owner or the pedigree because this has only very minor to no influence on authenticity! You do not know me how do you know how good I am in authenticating coins? I care only about arguments. Even experts can change their opinion if new evidence comes out.[/QUOTE]
