Some die combinations were sold through
fake sellers on
ebay, at least, 3 times
Theodosius, 1 Leo and 1
Anastasius All from
fake reports, they can be found on
forgerynetwork too
Always a bad sign if coins were sold through
fake seller, so we need to understand why they are supposed to be
fake.
I could not find authentic coins from these dies and the
style is wrong and very similar on all implying the same artist must have done them.
So this would imply modern dies, the centering and details are very different on all making transfer die
fakes and
cast fakes very unlikely, especially if we consider that I could not find authentic coins from any of these dies.
The die combination Leo,
Theodosius and
Anastasius, the
reverse die seems to have same die state implying that they must have been minted in short time after each other, of course it would be extremely unlikely to impossible.
Here we have the case that these coin from 3 EMPERORS must have been minted at the same
MINT and at the SAME time but if we look for the times when they ruled we notice taht there is at least 50 years between them.
It would be a different case if the
reverse die would be in different die states when used for different emperors, then it would mean that they were minted at a reasonable time after each other.
For example that the
reverse die when used by Theododius II. was in freh die state and when used many many years later by
Leo I. in a much later die state and then many many years later when used by
Anastasius in a late die state.
Between the mintage of these coins is at least 50 years and that a
reverse die was used by 3 emperors would be new to me.
Theodosius II, coin must have been minted between 402-450 AD
LEO I. coin must have been minted between 457-474 AD
Anastasius coin must have been minted between AD 491-518
Same
style implies same artist and then this artist must have been cutting dies for all 3 emperors dies and the time gape between these emperors is at least 50 years up to 100 years. (impossible)
