Evidence of Casting - Lost Wax Method Example417 viewsComposition of pictures of the mold of wax used in the micro-fusion (Lost-wax casting) and the replica submitted by Remoneda to the Spanish Forum OMNI in May and April 2010.
Valerian I, Antoninianus
AR Antoninianus, Antiochia mint, struck 253-254 AD.
Obv: IMP C P LIC VAELRIANVS AVG Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust r.
Rev: VOTA ORBIS Two Victories affixing shield, inscribed S C, on palm tree.
RIC #294; Cohen #280
The wax copy was made from a genuine coin in a mold, probably made with material used by dentists to take molds of teeth. The edge of the wax and other details can be modified to remove evidence of casting, remove flaws on the original coin, sharpen detail and to make each fake coin unique. The advantage of wax is that a mold can be made without a seam. Instead of removing the seed from the mold by opening two halves, the mold is heated and the melted wax is drained from the mold. The mold is broke to remove the fake coin, which will have no seam. mdelvalle

What to watch for:
1. The wreath ties on the genuine coin are hanging vertically.
2. The eagle on the reverse of the genuine type has a smaller wreath.
3. On the fake, the eagle looks like a swan with its head and neck left.
4. On the fake, the laurel leaves on the obverse are larger than on the genuine item.
