Hallo,

diesen Pfennig hab ich letztens selber gesucht und bin auch fündig geworden, aber im Saurma-Jeltsch/1267, dort wird der Pfennig unter Albert von Wertheim (1398-1421) geführt!
Ist das jetzt ein Irrtum von Lanz oder von Saurma?
Persönlich würd ich eher zu A. v. Wertheim dentieren,
da mir dieses Münzbild besser in diese Zeit passt!
Danke im voraus.

Grüsse Walker

Dieser Westgote wurde mittlerweile als Fälschung erkannt, und von RUTH PLIEGO VELASQUEZ in LA MONEDA VISIGODA unter der Nummer 1234 b1 veröffentlicht.

This coin was mailed by CNG to me, but never arrived. It was claimed and confirmed as a loss in the mail.

So, if this coin should turn up for sale, it is either stolen or embezzled; in this case the offer should be reported to CNG immediately. I would appreciate if you would inform me, too.

Thank you for your awareness

this is a modern Slavey fake. Compare to Modern Forgeries of Greek & Roman Coins, 1997, Prokopov, page 16, plate 32

This is not RIC VII SISCIA 244 var. but RIC VIII SISCIA 4.

Not Constantine I but Constantine II.

I think the attribution of this coin is debatable. I doubt whether it is truly a different obverse inscription with a missing I of COS III.

I rather think it is the lower front end of the bust which has merged with the last I.

Bei der Heliokles Tetradrachme aus CNG E-Sale 133, Lot 122, handelt es sich um eine sog. Utmanzai-Fälschung ("Utmanzai Coins" by Shortt in Numismatic Chronicle 1963, Seite 11-36), die von CNG bereits in der Mail Bid Sale 54, Lot 1013, in 06/2000 für $ 1.410.oo verkauft wurde und dann zurückgegeben worden war.
Sie wurde dann fünf Jahre später erneut in den Verkauf gegeben (E-Sale 133)(ein Schelm, wer Böses dabei denkt) - und - von mir als Ersteigerer - erneut zurückgegeben.

The attribution "RIC 79 (Büstenvariante)" is wrong. In fact, it is RIC VII AQUILEIA 111.

The coin is indeed unlisted in RIC, but was minted at Rome, not at Arles! There is "PR" in exergue and the style is apparently Roman.

Should be listed in RIC VI after ROMA 286.

Probably fake.

This is a modern plated fake. The same dies have also been used to strike fakes on solid silver.

"RIC:-" suggests that the coin is unlisted in RIC. In fact, it is RIC VI SISCIA 137b.

This mistake is frequently the result of overlooking that the legend marks on page 468 are superseded by new ones on page 469.
