Doubts on this Licinius Follis
« on: December 10, 2018, 08:31:22 am »
Is this an obvious fake? I can’t find anything in the fake coin reports but I also couldn’t find any similar styles in the Galleries either.

No weight or size given.

It sure looks fake to me with the block looking figures.  Or is that more a process of cleaning and applying a fake patina?


Any pointers would help.

Thanks

Good observation.  What does the edge look like?

Harshly cleaned and repatinated?
