paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/07/2024 4:08 pm I see heavy flowlines (from the metal being pushed out towards the edges) 3.2 grams is bang on for the weight. But I can't find an exact match for the obverse legend var. Commodus (with Aurelius, as Augusti) L AVREL CO-MMODVS AVG / T R P IIII IMP III COS II P P Rv. Fortuna seated w/rudder and cornucopia, a wheel below the seat Close to RIC III Aurelius 661, but the obv. legend is different (L AVREL COM-MODVS... vs. L AVREL CO-MMODVS...)

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 689 Posts	Posted 02/07/2024 7:42 pm New types show up. But when the coin is very nice we fear if it is false? Doubts happened to me with some coins like that. Style seems good to me. Cannot say more. Report this Post to the Staff
