Constantine VIRTVS RECITVS

[Victor]

This coin is being sold in a private listing on eBay as a denarius of Constantine from a seller in Spain. I believe that it is not ancient, but of modern manufacture. The reasons are that it looks like it is made from a white metal (which is almost always a sure sign of a fake) and the style just isn't right for an unofficial issue from the 4th century. It had 14 bids and sold for $88.00.

I agree that it is modern.

It is too bad that someone paid so much for it, but if they never find out what it really is, maybe they will always be happy with it...ignorance is bliss!
