MarcusAurelius47 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/14/2020 2:59 pm Hey everyone. I stumbled across this coin today. I only have a picture of the front, unfortunately. Does this coin look real or fake to you? Are there any red flags that you can see? I apologize for the grainy picture and no images of the back or sides. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like a casting seam but that just may be an illusion. Also, his nose looks odd. Edited by Biancasdad 04/14/2020 7:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

One thing to note is that the portrait is not similar to any Marcus Aurelius examples that I've seen - and I have a few denari of him. Report this Post to the Staff
