"Interesting" Nero

All three of these casts could be 200+ years old, maybe even older, this can be seen from the dates mentioned in the provenience quotes, assuming its not 'spin'.




If they are Paduan they have interest and value associated with them, sadly what they are not is 2000 years old.

I too would love to know what the seller of the 'O' has to say about it, I would have avoided this coin even if I had not seen the other two as the stamp simply does not look correct. I would struggle to condemn the other two coins on their own, together its obvious but apart and on their own it would be hard to be definitive.

Keep us posted on what the seller says Dionysos, good thread for experience hopefully you wont end up out of pocket if you want to return the coin.

bobbyhelmet, let say it did not cost me as much as a real one should have, but it was a little expensive for a fake. Not too sure what I'm going to do about this one, I still find it quite interesting and do not want to hassle more than it's worth.

Doug, will try and see, I'm used not being responded to

- Its often worth the money in cases like this for the interest and fun you get out of researching the coin, its also a nice story if you do keep it in your collection

"Is this an example of a centrifuge cast?"

That I wouldn't know

I think I will keep this one as my "most interesting fake" (wouldn't want too many of these either )
