I need some help with authenticity of Parion hemidrachme!
« on: November 28, 2018, 06:37:19 am »
I just got this new coin in my collection. I got it from a reputable well known seller. The thing is that its appearance really bothers me. Is it normal for such a coin to have this kind of rough appearance on its surface? Let me note that after close inspection i can say that completely clear of any sprue lines or casting bubbles and also has some soil left on the reassess. I would really appreciate your opinion on this matter! Thank all of you for your help! 2,35 gr 12,5 mm

Perhaps just corroded, then cleaned, then buffed up a bit to consolidate the surfaces.

Just looks like some porosity to me.  Nice coin.   +++
