Otho Denarius16 viewsSlabbed Fake Otho Denarius:
From Jyrki Muona:
There is absolutely NO chance that it is genuine Rome mint Otho.
The dots before M (faint) and after M in the IMP M OTHO obverse legend do not exist in any of the more than 500 dies I have recorded.
The letter "I" in IMP starts in straight line from the extension of the neck. In all known right facing dies it is left of it and underneath the portrait.
The shape of the back of the head and its hairdo are abnormal.
The obverse legend break between CAESAR and AVG is at the forehead/hairline point. This is extremely rare, only four such dies are known.
The head is unusually small, though not impossible.
The weight is ridiculously high. Said to be a mistake. What rubbish for a slabbed coin that cannot be weighed now.
