Galba Sestertius
« on: May 21, 2022, 04:57:11 pm »
Opinions on this Galba Sestertius please one friend of mine who studies coins is of the belief that she has no concerns with regards to its authenticity where as a collector friend has serious questions about its authenticity. So was just hoping for more opinions if ok please guys. Coin weighs 23.4g and measures about 33mm. For what it's worth I found the seller to be very genuine in their belief that the coin was genuine but it was passed doen from a passed relative so provenance is effectively unknown. Have a good weekend.

Morning Pete, thanks for the reply, to my very untrained eye I team of the opinion that the coin is likely genuine aswell but its nice to get affirmation from others with greater knowledge than myself so thanks again :)

One thing is almost 100% sure with this flan crack, not a cast coin !

Hahaha afternoon Dom, indeed I appreciate the crack would have put many off but it was priced more than fairly and was a fairly inexpensive way to purchase a coin I'd of not been able to normally :)

Looks OK to me apart from the obverse being harshly cleaned.
