« on: May 01, 2010, 09:21:47 am »
Hi everybody!

this coin was found with three other( one of them was a Valentinianus small bronze, the third one is still unknown maybe that one is not a coin: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=62498.0 )

BRUTUS EID MAR - Is this another fake one?

Regards!

This one's as fake as they come, not even a question about it. It is a modern fake of the Brutus Eid Mar denarius; a stylistically poor reproduction cast from modern molds, probably in a base metal.

Even though it is a fake you should try to take your pictures from overhead, less angle this realy helps when you have a guestionable coin. also a side view for cast coins.

PS hope you did not pay to much, or can return it.

When and where? Modern, recent. Similar to ones I've seen in tourist shops in Italy for a euro each. A souvenir type of item, probably not actually made to deceive. They are not uncommon.
