ID help for Geta contemporary counterfit??

[David S4]

Hello,
Please help me ID this coin:
        AE18mm 2.62g
        observe: Geta right with PSEPTGETAPIVSAVGBRIT around
        reverse: Aeternitas holding torch and globe with TRPIII  COSIIPP around

I am almost positive it is a mint made, pre silver foil contemporary counterfit of denarius RIC 0081.

Is this correct or is it an official issue I dont know about.
         
The coin is absolutly not a modern copy as I got it dirty and cleaned it. while cleaning I never detected any silvering.  I think it must surley have come from the mint and is not a barberous copy as the style is just about perferct for the Rome mint.  It is light for a denarius of Geta but this is because of the differnt densities of copper and silver. Was there a emergency bronze issue I dont know about that used the denarius dies.  Also puzzling is that it seems to be almost pure copper and not really a bronze coin at all (was this to aid in the adhesion of the silver foil to the core?)  If it is a contemporary counterfit has anyone seen one with the silver coating?
         
Anyways - If anyone knows anything more about this coin, I would appreciate the info, as it has been a real puzzler for me.

Thank You,
David S4

I'm sorry to say this, but your coin looks decisively modern to me. Dirt on a coin does not necessarily make it genuine, fakers use that trick quite regularly.

Id absolutely agree with you but I got this with a bunch of other dirties I paid about a $1.5 a piece for from a supplier I never had any trouble with.

He probably never realised it was there. the problem is likely to be further back in the chain.

It's not unusual to find "dirty" fakes in these so-called uncleaned lots. That doesn't necessarily mean it was your supplier that put it in, maybe it was done by the someone before.

There are similar issues in the fake reports.

Yep, a fake from modern "Lipanoff" dies.

Thanks for your help.
Dissapointing but that why I needed impartial eyes.
