Fake Tiberius Denarius

How were you aware of the coin? Always good to know how we come across the fakes.

Thanks

I acquired this coin via CNG in 2014. I attempted to sell it in 2018 and the auction house used NGC to determine it is not genuine. I have sent it back to CNG and they are refunding me the $500 or so I paid for it. I always post fake coins, so people can look for copies or similar ones out there. No one is trying to sell this I am aware of. I also did not want to list where or details, as other forums have been upset when I post links to competitors.

Of course the coin could be real and NGC can be wrong. They state themselves there is no way to be 100% certain with ancients sometimes. And have a disclaimer:

"NGC Ancients is committed to grading only genuine coins, but it does not guarantee authenticity, genuineness or attribution, nor is any guarantee of these aspects implied. NGC Ancients will only holder coins it considers genuine at the time of submission, but it cannot guarantee the authenticity, genuineness, type, attribution or date of any coin it holders. Unlike modern coins, which often benefit from well-documented, scientific parameters for the verification of authenticity, there rarely is conclusive data for ancient coins, and generally there is no surviving documentation to verify production characteristics."
