jdr New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/10/2017 10:23 am Hey everyone. I'm new to coin collecting here so bear with me. I bought an imperial roman denarius (Trajan) that looked awesome on ebay. I wanted to find some history on when the coin was minted via wildwinds, but I can't seem to find the coin on there! It seems like the placement of the wings and cornucopia do not match any of the other coins for this emperor/text combo. The coin is certified and graded by NGC. I've checked the registration on their websites and the images there match the coin I have in hand. Could this be a fake? Edited by jdr 08/10/2017 11:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 08/10/2017 12:23 pm I see what you mean. The deity on the reverse doesn't match either RIC54 or RIC79. It's not leaping out at me as a forgery, so I'm going to assume it's not and that you've found a variant. Let's see what the others think. Report this Post to the Staff

jdr New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/10/2017 12:50 pm It does look very similar to RIC 64. My only concern is the cornucopia placement is lower on mine. Between the M-P whereas on the sample there it is near the R. Can small details like that be different legitimately? Report this Post to the Staff

Coins from different dies can vary quite a bit. Report this Post to the Staff

jdr New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/10/2017 4:14 pm Thanks everyone for the help! I really like the coin and the legibility of the text. It's pretty cool holding a [very] little piece of history. Report this Post to the Staff
