Fake Coins and Notorious Fake Sellers / Re: Agrippina RIC 42, fake?

« Last post by Din X on Today at 06:45:42 am »

50 Euro is too much for a cast of a replica coin, it is not too cheap it is too expensive.

Here is one of these replicas made by artist Petar Petrov for 23,75 € including shipping!

It is in his catalogue too.

PS: Screening purcases is not allowed, if you want to lower the risk much to buy fakes you should consider to buy from reliable dealers, they will generally refund you the money if a coin turns out to be fake.

Dioscuri on the reverse

Obverse looks more like Hadrian but could also be Trajan (the readable obverse legend is TPA....(of course this could also be part of a Hadrian legend))

e.g. this Trajan which also has two "letters ?" left and right of the Discuri
