Here's a comparison of the OP coin (at bottom) with one from the fake reports. For those with a Forum account:
http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fa...cat=0&pos=12
There seem to possibly be a number of correspondences, including the little ding at the lower right corner of the (somewhat unusual looking) carriage of the triumphal quadriga, as well as the details of Victory's gown.
Worth pointing out that the documented fake is listed as cast (which may or may not be correct), whereas the flan shapes obviously differ between the coins here. I suppose it's possible the documented fake could be cast from molds taken from a legit coin from the same dies as the OP. In any event, I'm always wary when details on a known fake seem pretty close to a coin for sale.
