Well I can read VERVS AVG PART ARM which makes it a copy of Lucius Verus. A rather unimpressive copy at that.

Sorry to say but it gets a low rating on the fake scale

Any dealer who would sell this is not "official". Either he knows nothing about ancient coins ..... or he is a thief. Probably the former although if he refuses to take it back he is definitely the latter

Yeah...the "fabric" just isn't right, they look cast. But I'm happy you were able to return them.
