I have an atypical question for this
forum Joe. Instead of asking what it is that raises suspicion about a coin, I
hope you might
help me understand why the areas I have circled on this
denarius are not suspicious. Although the coin as a whole looks
fine to my eyes too, in my inexperience and with my high level of caution, these areas would look like bubbling. The picture is not particularly crisp, so it would be hard for me to say...but if that were all I
had to go on, I would avoid it. I avoid all but one or two
Ebay dealers anyway, so that isn't an issue, but nonetheless...
Please don't think this is me questioning anyone's judgment or expressing an opinion. I do understand the rule about less experienced
members not providing opinions subsequent to the professionals here. I have no opinion, just the question...why is that
area not worrying?
Derek.
