Didia Clara89 viewsTop coin is authentic mother bottom coin is transfer die fake.
The flan defect on cheek (red) and the flan crack (blue) on obverse were transferred in transferd dies and on fakes produced with them. On reverse the slippage see for example first L of Hilaritas and the two edge cracks (blue) were transferred in transferd dies and on fakes produced with them. The ghost line (yellow) is identical with the end of planchet of the mother and is so showing the flan shape of the mother.
