Borderlord New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 2:26 pm Need a positive ID is possible on these two coins that have been here at home for many years. They are non magnetic but seem to have some kind of metal make up. Many thanks Borderlord Report this Post to the Staff

kiaora New Member Australia 15 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 3:09 pm They both look so - called "tourist copies" I.e. crudely cast fakes with an applied sand patina. The one on the left is copying a Byzantine follis, not sure about the other one Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 24271 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 3:13 pm @bor, first welcome to CCF. Second, they do have the soft devices of cast copies. Can you please add the weight of each coin plus a pic or two of the edges to this thread? Thx.

Bob L Pillar of the Community United States 6397 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 3:39 pm These are both documented fakes. The Byzantine obverse, speculated (in a couple of fake reports) to copy an issue of Theophilus, is sometimes paired with fantasy reverses. The other coin, based on an Orbiana sestertius, is a very well documented fake - there are LOTS of examples of this one in the fake reports. Report this Post to the Staff
Borderlord New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 4:25 pm Thank you so much for the replies. Really appreciated. I will post pics of the edges and the weights of them when I get back home. Thanks again Borderlord Report this Post to the Staff

Borderlord New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 07/02/2022 06:04 am Have no precise weights for these but they are heavier than a normal coin I suppose......and heave for a coin in general.....the edges are plain and are not milled or showing any signs of markings.... Thanks again Borderlord Report this Post to the Staff
