Fakes w/ Emperor on horseback; GLORIA EXERCITI AVGG NN / PR die
« on: December 25, 2005, 10:20:47 pm »
Looking through the Fake reports, I noticed a several of fakes sharing the same fantasy reverse die:

3 xLicinius I, Argenteus (https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?pos=-690) (https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?pos=-1032) (https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?pos=-292)




Gordianus Africanus I denarii (https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?pos=-1326)


Geta, Denarius (https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?pos=-1176)


This would point to the same die being used to make all three, possibly by the same individual or group of forgers. I'm not sure if this is 'old news' or not, but it's certainly interesting to see the same reverse die used such disparate emperors as Gordian I and Licinius ;).

This is very good evidence, thank you. It's evidence like this I would like to see in every case we debate a struck or pressed modern fake. Some of these dies are really dangerous. They could fool a lot of people.
