Looks OK to me but would like to hear some of your thoughts. Actually, I love the portrait! If this one is fake then I'm still far off from being where I want to be in spotting them.

28.7 mm. 10.4 grams.

I checked the fake reports and didn't find any match to this so I would say it's genuine and a very nice example.

Inclined to say genuine but these days it can be easy to fool an "old fool" like me.
Lugdunum style portrait.
They made him better looking in Gaul. The Rome issues tend to the real Mr Potato Head style.
I would expect to pay in the $300 plus range for it. I think 400 would be more than I would want to go.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. A bit too much for my budget, but lately I've been concentrating on spotting fakes. I found 2 myself from the fake coin reports and Finn confirmed one last week. I know to buy from reputable dealers and I have, however, every now and again a deal can come around and being more confident and knowing what to look for really helps.
