Augustus denarius. Fake?
« on: February 16, 2018, 11:47:08 am »
Dear all,
I am concerned about the authenticity of one Augustus denarius.

The features look mushy which is concerning.
What do you think?

Weight: 3.67 g / Diameter: 19 mm

Best wishes.

I do not know about authenticity, but it does appear to have been buffed.

Thank you guys.

Only an update. This coin came from an auction at the auction house [REMOVED BY ADMIN].


Best wishes.
