echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 8:18 pm I agree, I also think it's a fake. It looks too good and the patina just doesn't look right. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 8:27 pm He has a lot of "clean" coins that look very nice. Posting the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LARGE-BRONZ...em257fd3530a Has offered a couple of silver items but I dont have the details yet. Would value your opinions before making an offer. Says he is a detectorist. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 10:12 pm Before reading any comments, I found that the style looked looked 'off' both for Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. The crack looks quite genuine for a struck coin. Therefore, a die struck fake. If I could have bought it for less than $5, it would have gone into my 'black' collection.

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 1:28 pm Like the sellers info of: Quote: ON REVERSE THE HEAD HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF DUE TO ? CHANGE OF RULER ! . Much better than stating "a botched reverse due to the die being made from a Cast of a real coin that had the Patina damaged on that section." Report this Post to the Staff
