Otho Denarius1 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.

Philip II, tetradrachm, Pella 10 viewsTerrible cast fake currently for sale by huge US auciton house.
The auction house even noted "scrapes along edge."
Round casting pearls green, there may be more have marked only the most obvious.
Round casting holes red, there may be more have marked only the most obvious.
At the eye I don't know what it is , a giant peral or casting defects (marked blue).
The details are also all soapy/washed out and details are lost.
See in fake reports the many casting twins with same flan shape, die axis, centering, wear, flan defect, scratch etc.
