Evidence of Casting - Comparison with Genuine Struck Original3523 viewsThe top coin is a cast fake. The bottom coin is an original struck coin. The genuine coin is sharp. No amount of wear could make the genuine coin look like the cast coin. The lack of detail on the cast coin is not wear on the high points; it is everywhere. The raised bubbles in the fields (nicknamed "pearls") are another indicator of casting. Joe Sermarini

There is nothing obviously fake in the photos, however, this NFS would never offer a genuine Otho denarius. Cast from a genuine coin. Evidence of casting is likely visible in hand.
