Cast fakes sold by fakes sellers 'empire_gallery' and 'spes-pvblica' on eBay. These images show two identical cast copies. Image 1A (top left) is the dealer photo of the fake sold by 'empire_gallery', it was bought by a FORVM poster who made image 1B (right) which includes a side view that shows traces of a casting seam. Image 2 (bottom left) is the dealer photo of the fake sold by 'spes-pvblica', which is another cast copy. The posting of this coin, not suspected to be fake until the second identical specimen (image 2) turned up, led to the discovery of many more cast fakes by these and other sellers.postvmvs

Sold on Ebay in July 2004 by known fake seller legion_8. Identical to a coin sold by another known faker "romanseller" (see additional fake coin report).
Quite a convincing fake with flow lines, flan cracks and artificial encrustation.

Aelius, denarius906 viewsCast fakes. Note similar surface flaw on both flans at 11 o'clock on the obverse (circled in red). The edge of the bottom coin appears to have been filed to alter the shape of the flan. On the reverse at 5 o'clock a flan crack can be seen on the top coin, with a small trace of the crack remaining on the bottom coin after the alteration.postvmvs
