Title: Cornel Supera AVG
Post by: Mathilde B on March 05, 2019, 09:29:33 pm

Hello,

I've got an ancient coin, Cornelia Supera: Cornel Supera AVG. According to the pictures can you please help me to know its value? I would like more information about it.
Also do you have any tips to clean it?

Thank you very much

I'm not an expert in that era, but you should not attempt to clean it under any circumstances.   You will do much more harm to its value than any good.   The Empress is fairly rare, and if the coin is authentic, it would be a good coin to have.

That being said, the coin does not look normal in those photos.  You will need to post better photos and weight and diameter to get better advice.  Try checking the Fake Coin Reports section above to see if there is a match.

You will also need to post the weight, the diameter, and understand that we do not discuss value here. A quick perusal of the rules will help.

Thank you so much for your answer! Do you know which era this coin is from? It will help me to know if it's a fake one or not  :)
I unfortunately already rubbed it with a cloth, I hope I didn't do any damage...

Its diameter is 2mm.
Its weight is around 4gr. But I don't have precise weights, I will find this and do better pictures.
