tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 08:36 am What are your opinions on the " S " AM ? I have gone through the Constantine captive coins and cant find any examples with it backwards. My 1st thought was a barbarous issue but you know more than me so I could be wrong.

Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 09:45 am Thats a good question Tenbob. All the VIRTVS EXERCIT, both official and barbs, I have seen have a normal S. My personal opinion is that the coin is a contempory imitation, just by the style of the lettering. I may be wrong though! I really wish this coin was in better condition though, so we could properly I'd it. Edited by Augustus Maximus 05/16/2015 09:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

dikayopilak Valued Member 83 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 12:36 pm Guys, is this common? Is there special on this coin or just common contemporary imitation with backwards "S". Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 1:00 pm I hate to be the one to say this but I think this coin is a recent fake. The flan doesn't look right, the coin looks like it was put in a vice and flattened smashing the letters which IMO aren't what I would expect to see on this type. The patina also looks artificial.

tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 1:32 pm Here is mine that was attributed as a contemporary imitation for comparison, I can fully understand why you say its a modern fake Ski, I thought it wasn't " genuine " from the start but not being learned to your level and others I take the cautious approach.
