Nero and Agrippina Denarius RIC 2 - real or not
« on: January 13, 2024, 10:03:40 am »
Hello…

I get this RIC 2 Silver Denarius, issued from Nero with his Mother Agrippina. The style is not like the common Rome issue style, so I am not 100% sure about this denarius it was real or a fake.

At once - I see some genuine coins with similar style from serious auction house, they will write something from a „Lugdunum Style“.

Twice - I will search the last 2 1/2 days at all fake databases and all fake threads, but I don’t find any similar fake example. Nothing. But I can’t say I see 100% all possible fakes.

So I am not sure, some similar style examples called like „Lugdunum“, I don’t find any similar fake example …. but there is a bad feeling.

I would be interested in your opinion. Please give reasons. That would be great.



So here are the pictures include the edge. Diameter was 18,4mm and the weight was 3,51g.

After a longer search today, I find a similar type at a past auction - the lot was whitedraw:

But the important point, with help from a another User we find a similar coin, sold from the eBay Fakeseller „demetrios7107“ - see attached picture.


@Joe Sermarini - so I will add this Type to the Fake Coin Report Database, if it was ok for you.
