Hi All,
Recently, this sestrertius of Maximinus Thrax, was offered at ebay auction.
I have to say that big bronzes/ brass are not my best area, so i can not confidently say, only by photos, whether coin is genuine, or not.
Аlthough it is quite worn, it has its beauty, but also areas that look strange.
But the red flag, for me, was, when 30 min before auctions end, I noticed tiny "R", scratched at obverse, at 5 o clock. This is exactly what I would do, if a forgery/replica coin apear in my collection.
Would like to know your thoughts about this coin.
