Looks at first glance as if the lower one is certain
fake (but see my clarification below). IF it is a
fake, THEN, that you've shown us two such
fakes, given the "reputable dealer" source of the originals, is very disturbing indeed. I agree in both the case of this Antony, and the prior
Octavian, that your coins look original. If there are 2 such copy-fakes then there are certainly 20 or maybe 200, of perhaps many different designs. I can't imagine what's going on.
This very much reminds me of a parallel situation, involving quite a few
Republican coins, sold in the same timescale (last few years), where the genuine coins sold at major
auctions, but
had been copied prior to
auction consignment and the copies then dribbled out on lesser venues over the last two years. In some cases, the
fakes appeared BEFORE the originals, as happened here. It may in fact be the exact same situation, and the coins which I've noted are
part of the same pool.
Correction/Clarification:
It is possible the two Antony's are the same coin, the lower from a bad soft photo. They are reported as weighing the same...
Re-correction:
No they are different objects, that hair-wear doesn't come from a blurred lens. I can't see how the lower one can be anything except
fake,
cast from the upper, then mechanically worn?
