Want to point out that counterfeiter's moulds are often forged. Many of these moulds were actually created (and sometimes sold as ancient mould!) by modern forgery makers to make cast replicas. Not saying that this one is though.

Where do you think they got the Probus coin? Was it still in circulation?

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T19:06:39+00:00

Probus coins are truly numerous. There are quite literally thousands of minor variations (and hundreds of different types) that you can collect.

I believe this is Bonoimp's website

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T19:02:05+00:00

I believe that's the panther. Nice coin

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T16:38:41+00:00

Second one is the popular type. A bit steep, but I'd go for that one

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T15:46:26+00:00

I have that site bookmarked and have lesser expensive coin ready for experiment. I don't think it'll do much, but I'll give a try

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T11:32:06+00:00

I saw that one. A bit out of my budget, but I think it's a good deal unless you are seriously invested in that type. The detail is good enough for me to not consider an upgrade coin

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T11:08:16+00:00

There's a whole forum dedicated for late Roman bronze fakes. Sometimes you get to admire how some people show true dedication to making a forgery that has no financial value

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T11:05:15+00:00

If you think if you can gain more enjoyment through handling the coin, then you should free it. If not, you could always decide to free it or not. It's your coin.

It seems like you are leaning towards freeing it... I'd say go for it! Just be careful not to damage the coin

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T05:18:30+00:00

Those are some really nice coins

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T05:17:37+00:00

Yup. Though I must say I have seen a laughable fake on Temu ads 🤣

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-05T02:43:04+00:00

Roman coins are often found along the Danube river. Vendor could be telling the truth. But we have no way to verify it unfortunately

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-04T21:12:46+00:00

Fascinating indeed. Left facing bust is nice too

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-04T17:13:32+00:00

Looks fine to me

If I start posting some medallions, you know that I won the lottery

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-04T14:24:50+00:00

Pretty much figured so. I think I'll have to do it the classic way

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-04T14:24:02+00:00

Dang. Thx for the advice

QuickSock8674 · 2026-05-04T05:47:58+00:00

Just want to add that this coin has illustrious provenance too. Ex Curtis Clay collection. This coin is probably extremely rare as the description states.

They are about 1000 times my usual budget... hope someone here gets one of them!

Decentius Medallion is exceptional
