Cast Julius Cesar / M.METTIVS silver coin (reproduced in bronze)?
« on: March 17, 2021, 06:53:02 pm »
A coin that looks to be a reproduced Julius Cesar denarius, this time made in bronze. Cast marks seem pretty obvious around the edges.

I can find no record that this has been previously seen in bronze, and seller is very evasive in their phrasing (indicating to me that they know it is dodgy).

Pretty good copy (if it is a copy; I'm not an expert and it is not in the previously seen fraud group), would likely fool someone.

Inscribed "IMPER CAESAR / M.METTIVS" with A in left field.
