This coin appears to be an acid-distressed pressed forgery from wholly new dies not yet in the fake reports and different than the Lipanoff dies that have been previously seen for the type. The style is completely unlike authentic denarii of this moneyer. Sold on eBay November 2017 by NFS ancient_kingdomsJordan MontgomeryNov 16, 2017
