Hi,

someone has already posted this kind of fake in forgerynetwork. The ebay-link is dead, because the sale has been at least 90 days ago. It looks as if it could be the same specimen which has now been sold to you.

Fake coin reports please.  The coins in the last post look pressed.

The first two in the last post look pressed to me also, but maybe not the third. I hope you don't mind the opinion, but unless its Forvm or a few other dealers, the odds of a Pertinax being fake  n eBay is very high.

For comparison, your cast and a real Pertinax.
