This is actually Crawford 500/3(listed as 500/5 above). 500/3 is the bare-headed version, 500/5 the veiled one

This is Crawford 500/5 as opposed to 500/3. The 500/3 variety has a bare-headed Libertas whereas this one, 500/5, has a veil.

This is actually a Crawford 107/1 "C" series denarius from Etruria, rather than crescent series

FAKE! Same fake I have seen elsewhere with an "O" under the "8" and it is also the wrong assayer! The assayer should be "H"! BEware of this fake as it is still out there appearing in other auctions. It is a horrible fake and looks NOTHING like a 1698 should!

This is a known modern forgery of wrong style.

Actually, it serves a purpose. The listing notes "Withdrawn", which should tip off any intelligent buyer/collector that something may be strange about the piece... and maybe that leads the person to do further research.

Falsa, fake, es un clon muy conocido. y creo que la misma casa de subasta la retiró, no debería aparecer en esta web pues genera confusión. como otras que he denunciado y que no han quitado todavía.

This coin is from Antiochia in Pisidia, not Antiochia ad Maeandrum.

Ferdinand VI. Ordnial visible at 7 oclock, let of date under cross.
Final year of Philip and First for Ferdinand. Tricky with these issues, but the VI is always in the same location for this issue of FVI - more or less. With DG at 9 oclock vs 7.
Stunning coin.

1705-06 J Variety. Tail pointing right. This is a tough variety of the J series. Very few of this particular variety exist. Tilted bar over center shield attribute the type. Wow.

This aureus is not from the Recamier sale, Bourgey 1925.

The fact that this fooled the auction cataloger tells you exactly why...

"_ _ _ 1 with assayer not visible but by style it has to be 1607-1611 so since there is a last digit 1 visible it has to be 1611" is a tough sell to the only collectors devoted and expert enough to actually recognize/believe that. Those people probably will hold out for a more definably-dated piece...

So, instead, reengrave (most of) a date to fool a sucker... Amusing, too, b/c apparently the surgeon himself didn't even recognize it was 1611 rather than 1641... otherwise he probably would have just done that instead (actually a bit easier).

Retooled date. Not sure why anyone would want to do this to a 1611 omF.....the date was perfectly fine as it was. Adding the 4?? Weird....

description says "... head of Augustus to right" - actually the head is "to left"

This coin has been extensively smoothed and reworked:

This is a great error variety that has the NB Fluer de Lis stamped in the wrong quadrant then corrected with the proper Austria bar.

A horribly tooled coin.

KA•A• = officina 1 — officina H (8) not possible at Serdica.

Serdica, RIC 888 variant = Cohen 927 (not listed for officina) p. 115. // KA•A•

RIC 880 = Cohen 915 has a different reverse type: Emperor galloping right, spearing enemy whose shield lies beneath horse.

Julian II

Die Legende in der Beschreibung stimmt nicht mit der Legende auf der abgebildeten Münze überein (The legend in the description does not match the legend on the coin.) Die Legende lautet (It should read): Rs.: C PLOTIVS RVFVS IIIVIR A A A F F und Vs.: TRIBVNIC POTEST CAESAR AVGVSTVS

eher KdKahle

Charlemagne ou Charles le Chauve ist nicht mehr erforderlich, die Münzen lassen sich anhand der R zuordnen, pn

KdE hat schwerere Denare geprägt, 1.04 Gramm ist eine viel spätere Prägung, pn

Monogramm R und FR zeigen eindeutig KdKahle an.
