simone1978 Valued Member Italy 220 Posts	Posted 11/01/2022 08:20 am Good morning to the whole forum I cannot classify this denarius, I believe Roman , which has a variety with the engraving of the figure only on the reverse and on the recto ita has the same engraving. Thank you for all the replies Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/01/2022 08:33 am Not familiar with this ancient? coin type, but I suspect that it may be the ancient equivalent of what modern collectors would call a 'pattern' (experimental or trial) coin, and not intended for circulation. If my assumption is correct, it would be very rare. Another assumption would suggest that this piece is a modern fantasy coin, in an ancient style and method of manufacture.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/01/2022 3:13 pm The odd reverse appears to be the result of a type of striking error called a "brockage". The coin itself, if genuine, is an issue of Marc Antony. I'm skeptical. https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=372117 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brockage Edited by Kushanshah 11/01/2022 3:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
simone1978 Valued Member Italy 220 Posts	Posted 11/01/2022 4:24 pm thank you very much for the cataloging of the coin . I checked various sites to get an idea on the authenticity , sice it is a Marco Antonio coin and is listed as rarity r4 , given the importance of the coini send it to PCGS for an evaluation. Best regard Simone Report this Post to the Staff

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2099 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 04:56 am I was initially sceptical about this coin but have spent a little while looking at known examples. It appears to be a die match to the following coin. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3107814 Report this Post to the Staff
