Anthemius Nummus
« on: August 07, 2014, 03:21:32 pm »
I recently got this Anthemius Nummus

It is a RIC 2858, monogram 2 with the  :Tao-Rho: above.  It is 10mm, 1.19g, 11h. 

The obverse is awfully nice, almost too nice for the period.  I brought it to the ANA show an show it to several people and no one said it is a straight out fake but a few have the same concerns as I do. I am wondering if anyone see these dies or one that's was carved by the same individual?

Thanks in advance
Ian

Unfortunately I have seen a lot of these coins... Anthemius, Ricimer, Nepos etc... in last 6 months the 75% of them are fakes from serbia....

your coin, in my opinion is a modern fake from serbia/croatia....

never seen a bust/face of anthemius like this one....and the general feeling is orrible

if you can, ask for your money back

excuse my bad English

bye
