Gordian I, silver denarius248 viewsSource David Garstang's website. Identified as a "probable fake" by the supplier. Lacking "dead giveaways" no visible seam or file marks around the edges. The surface not worn enough to explain the apparent wear of the portrait. Wear is probably artificial, to hide signs of casting. One almost never sees denarii of this period this badly worn. The denarius was discontinued shortly after this. These coins were not in circulation long enough to get this worn.
