Someone recently posted this 'coin' on a Facebook page devoted to ancient coins .......

L-Clodivs-Macer-Denarius-......-For-Real-?


L-Clodivs-Macer-Denarius-......-For-Real-?

I had no problem calling this one as a definite 'stinker'

Fortunately for me someone else provided additional evidence to back up the opinionation of myself and another.



L-Clodivs-Macer-Denarius-......-For-Real-?

Now comes the kicker !



L-Clodivs-Macer-Denarius-......-For-Real-?

L-Clodivs-Macer-Denarius-......-For-Real-?

The above coin was sold at 2010 auction (prestigious too) and fetched a final selling price of 4,000 Swiss Francs !!!

I know I belabor this point .........

But something 'ist' rotten in the kingdom of Dennark

I wouldn't touch that coin, it looks 100% fake IMO.

There are a number of these on the fakes reports. I'm not sure what auction house you're referring to, FR, but they really dropped the ball. Pretty sloppy work on their part.
