[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8184798, member: 101855"]Sorry, bu I don’t have pictures. Last Saturday my local dealer asked me to look at a Higley Copper a women had brought to his shop. I determined that it was a copy, probably cast in white metal was a receding coat of copper. She also had what looked to be an antanarius (sp) in the style of the 250s. I could read “IMP” and could barely make out “CAESAR,” but the rest of the letters were just gibberish. They were also much smaller than any of the lettering that appears on the coins I have in my collection or have seen. The reverse had three figures, two large ones and a smaller one the the figure on the right was holding in his or her hand. I concluded that this was some sort of copy. Was that a reasonable assumption?[/QUOTE]
