Found this being sold online, and am quite interested in it, as I have been looking for a nice forward-facing Justinian follis for a while.

What-Do-You-Think-Of-This-Byzantine?-Fake?

This one is very good for the price, so naturally I got skeptical. It doesn't help that the seller is in Bulgaria, and is selling some very rare pieces at prices that, if real, would be really great deals (one of his listed items is a Nero port of Ostia coin for around $70- isn't this type supposed to be crazy rare?). So then I went searching and found thesame type as the Justinian I am interested in on ForgeryNetwork:

Same mint, same officina, same regnal year, same facial expression... I was a bit shocked.

So was wondering, what do you all think of it?

Thanks guys, really appreciate it! I'll just be treating this one like if it was Justinian's plague and staying clear away!

As long as he does not go to Canada, lest he run into the "Toronto Group".

In this case the coin is exactly the same as the fake from forgery network.
