bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 08:45 am It seems to be missing 'CAES', looks more like 'CM?' after the 'IMP'. By no means an expert on his coinage but don't they all start 'IMP CAES...'? Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 08:58 am I thinks thats a nail on the head moment pishpash I didn't think it looked like Pescennius but was looking at Septimius coins myself, though one might have been butchered. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 09:23 am The seller sold this coin as a PN but according to the legend is a Didius Julianus, although I can't find the type http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROMAN-COI...047675.l2557 Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 09:26 am Wildwinds only has one example of this coin, and it doesn't have a nose like Nerva? Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 09:33 am I'll put you out of your misery as the next bit is tough. I recognised the dies as being entirely modern. The coin has been artifically worn and comes from the dies that made the following modern copy. Martin Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 09:37 am It is a fake? It is very round? It looks quite thick, the examples I have seen are quite thin? Put us out of our misery! Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 12:28 pm Some of the coins have clear legends but the seller miss-attributes them, presumably so the buyer is so taken up with getting a bargain they don't look at the coin properly. Report this Post to the Staff
