relicarius New Member Ireland 19 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 1:06 pm Thank you Bob! Next one I'm looking for is a Claudius sestertius, it is a must have in my opinion, even if only because I have a stammer myself too. Report this Post to the Staff

relicarius New Member Ireland 19 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 07:26 am I have received some comments somewhere else that this coin is a cast copy, but I disagree. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff
jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 2:46 pm Isn't that the Temple of Janus on the reverse? But these Coinarchives have it as an arch. https://www.coinarchives.com/a/resu...20AND%20arch Edited by jskirwin 02/12/2021 2:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 4:45 pm Nope, the Temple of Janus looked different. You have it on a couple of the sestertii further down in Coinarchives list. About being cast, I see nothing that makes me think it is. Report this Post to the Staff
strange New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 02/15/2021 02:47 am it's likely the pebbly surface and the lack of radial 'push' on the letters that ping the 'cast copy' radars out there Report this Post to the Staff
