<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1936118, member: 19463&quot;]While it is only an opinion, I believe that my Otho fourree was produced by the same faker as the OP Vitellius.&nbsp; This made part of me want the coin more but it also made me nervous about just when that faker was making the coins.&nbsp; The other part of me regrets not owning this coin.&nbsp; Both are very typical foil method fourrees with strong seams and good workmanship.&nbsp; Style is distinct from the regular mint product. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]334813[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to upgrade the Vitellius I already had which is actually only 3/4 of a coin.&nbsp; Fourrees of Vitellius and Otho are rare compared to other 12 Caesars.&nbsp; I lack Caligula and Galba from the set but both of these are seen with regularity.&nbsp; Fourrees of Caligula are relatively common compared to his solid denarii. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]334814[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My only solid Vitellius also has a connection with Otho.&nbsp; It shows the earliest portrait style at Rome where Vitellius looks more like Otho than appropriate.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]334816[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
