Antoninos Ephesos160 viewsCast fake . IONIA. Ephesus. Caracalla (197-217 A.D.). AE 35 , Ephesus Mint, ca.197-217 A.D. Laureate cuirassed bust right, Greek legend around; Reverse: Two temples in three-quarter view towards each other within which are statutes of Artemis Leukophrene and Artemis Ephesia.
Helvetica Commented: Massive numbers of these fakes are coming out of Eastern Europe, often sold by unscrupulous sellers in Germany who know damn well that they are fakes. (Fake: emperor's name incorrect; the city name of Magnesia has been changed to Newkoron). See another example and the detailled explanation on wildwinds' Caracalla page under "Magnesia ad Meandrum Schultz 169 FAKE" quadrans

Antoninus Pius - temple sestertius35 viewsAntoninus Pius fake Sestertius
ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P (TR P XX II)
TEMPLVM DIV AVG REST, S C, COS IIII in ex. temple of Augustus and Livia.
30.60 x 30.00 mm. 26.63 g
The huge giveaway signs are the letters on the reverse.
They all have an indentation around the letters. These indentation are caused by blocks of metal with letters on them which were used to stamp the letters into the metal.
On genuine coins the letters were hand-engraved into the die, and struck together with the rest of the image in one work job, not stamped separately.
Another giveaway are the figures on the reverse. There should only be Augustus and Livia, and not have a child between them.helvetica

Antoninus Pius Sestertius - RIC III 1004332 viewsObverse: ANTONINVSAVG PIVS PP TRP XXII. Antoninus Pius, Laureate, facing right
Reverse: TEMPLVMDIV AVG REST COS IIII S C, octastyle temple with Augustus and Livia. Unlike the authentic/unmodified coin (as pictured in RIC III, plate VI 114), the Augustus in this thing is hilariously waving at the viewer in this coin. Who knew the Princeps was such a friendly guy?
Sold on eBay on 12/29/2010 for $710 by moonstone_lovely, where it was misidentified as RIC 787 (a rare coin). This coin instead loosk like RIC 1004 (which is more merely scarce according to RIC III). In the opinion of Forvm experts, this coin is at best heavily tooled and repatinated, and most likely the underlying coin that was damaged to make this thing may not have even been an authentic sestertius.fnord123
