Potentially important Trajan/Hadrian mule denarius - what does it tell us?

[Martin B5]

Can you post some detailed photos of the edge of the coin?

[okidoki]

There are two known fakes with this combination, what does this say about op coin?

[Optimo Principi]

Yes looks like a match. Wish I'd seen those fakes earlier, they weren't in the fake reports.

Luckily I returned the coin.

good for you, how was the edge?

[Optimo Principi]

I couldn't see anything strange about the edge.

The 2nd fake you posted has the exact same flan shape as mine. They could almost be the same coin.
A dangerous fake.

[Optimo Principi]

Interestingly an obverse die match of this probable fake and those posted by okidoki, just went on to [REMOVED BY ADMIN].

this coin is authentic

[curtislclay]

This coin confirms what was already clear from their style: that the obv. and rev. dies of the fake were somehow derived from authentic denarii of Hadrian and Trajan respectively.
