Gordian III, Denarius, Secvritas PP220 viewsObv:- IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right
Rev:- SECVRITAS P P, Securitas standing left, leaning on column, legs crossed
Style is terrible. Reverse legend doesn't exist except for a single fourée example. Forger appears to have been aiming to emulate the style of Antioch at the period.wolfgang336Jan 06, 2006

Constantine Ae3321 viewsOdd looking thing... lots of pitting, and has a "spray-painted" appearance. This shouldn't be hard to spot for most collectors. Sold as a Repro, with R stamped on rim.

Constantine Campgate Reproductions703 viewsFrom the image I can deduce that these are cast. They were sold as reproductions, and can be identified by a flan problem at aprox 5:00 on the obverse. Probably wouldn't fool too many collectors when they got them in hand, but it's something to be aware of.

Athens, silver dekadrachm1572 viewsOffered for sale on ebay in May 2005 (item no. 3973958279) at a starting price of $400,000 by someone in the Netherlands. Reid Goldsborough reported on Moneta-L that he has an identical Athenian decadrachm to this one, which is a declared replica with COPY below the owl on reverse. On this specimen the word COPY on the rev. has been scratched out. Only 14 of these coins are known to exist. Almost all are accounted for in various public and private collections. 42 g and 35 mm.wolfgang336May 07, 2005
