prsferreira Valued Member Brazil 146 Posts	Posted 03/29/2018 10:38 pm Friends Could you tell me if it's fake? 30 mm; 12 15 gr Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 12:50 am Nothing about it "screams" fake ! But it is a type very commonly faked and often faked rather well too. The weight and diameter are on the high end which is good. Castings lose 10-15% of the original and will rarely be 30mm Photos aren't great Probably genuine More than that can't be determined Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 12:57 am Most likely fake. Heres the real one, note the letters on yours are clear, too nice. Wings different? If this is the same coin, yours is 3 gr heavier. https://www.beastcoins.com/RomanImp...ero/Nero.htm Edited by Crazyb0 03/30/2018 01:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1306 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 07:17 am I downloaded the photos and removed the purple the whole photo is cursed with then brightened it. (The purple was not real it was just an artifact of the poor photographer sadly whoever that was.) The results show it is a strike, not a cast with those letters and has some decent encrustation. I have no reason to doubt the coin so my vote is real. Report this Post to the Staff

prsferreira Valued Member Brazil 146 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 1:15 pm Friends, does the Reverse S (my coin) not seem too "sprawled", rather than worn out by usage? Report this Post to the Staff
louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1306 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 1:24 pm The left side of the reverse of the coin is just a weak strike in my opinion. And it is uniformly so on the left of the coin if the compare the dotted border in that section which is a good sign of the weak left side strike theory. You really have nothing at all to worry about in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
