Commodus, bimetallic medallion321 viewsCurtis Clay noted: It is a cast. Note the circular line inside the edge on both sides. On the original, that was the dividing line between a red copper center and a brass edge or vice versa, a bimetallic medallion which was apparently considered fancier because of the differing colors of the metals.
On this medallion we can see in the image that the edge and the center are the same yellowish metal. A unimetal bimetallic medallion, because it is a modern cast not an original! Fortunately you cannot cast center and rim in two different metals so as to make your fake more deceptive! Apr 12, 2005

Hadrian, Denarius, RIC 240551 viewsObv: HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, laureate head right
Rev: FELICITATI AVGVSTI, galley sailing left
Date: 134-138 AD
Ref: RIC 240, RSC RSC 712, BMC 621
For sale on eBay 01/29/2005 by Toronto Group, ID "babylonruinz".
The Toronto Group would often use photos of the genuine original coin on eBay but the coins shipped to customers would be casts of the original. The coin in the photo may be genuine. But we know these same photos were used over and over for many sales over several years. There are many fake copies. In hand under magnification the casts look cast. So there is little danger of causing confusion with coins in hand.
