Trajan Denarius help

[Evgeny F]

Hello, I new to this forum, and I am looking for help!  I recently won an auction at ********* for a Trajan Denarius(RIC 127).  I have since learned that it is not the most trustworthy auction house, and the pristine quality of the coin is making me suspicious of its authenticity.  I compared the coin with other examples on numismatics.org and wildwinds.com, and was unable to find a reverse die that matched the coin that I have.  It is surprisingly uniform on the sides, and just seems off to me.  Maybe it is my untrained eye, but I figured I should ask someone who knows more than me.


I am attaching photos of the coins, obverse, reverse and a shot from the side as well, with the image provided by the auction house.  Thank you very much for taking your time to read this!

Edit:  Removed the name of the auction house.  I am sorry for not checking the rules before posting.

That looks so cool! Unfortunately I do not know enough about coins to help you, hopefully someone else here can help!

Thank you so much for your post!

Replying, honestly wondering to the mods if there is something wrong with my post.  Still looking for more info, but planning to get the coin graded just in case.

I cannot authenticate or condemn it from the photos but it is an odd looking coin. If you don't get a response, it may be because people are undecided or uncertain.

Thank you very much for your response!  I was just making sure people could actually see the post!
