RIC IX Antioch 7A - Valens Siliqua - Real deal?
« on: January 27, 2023, 12:26:17 pm »
Hello Again

http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.9.anch.7A

This coin was bought alongside some coins I am now fairly certain are modern fakes. This one however I am less inclined to believe is a fake. There is some slight porosity, but other than that I do not catch anything that screams out forgery?

It seems too finely detailed and too thin to me a cast, nothing seems unusual about the strike. Was just wondering if you had some second thoughts?

Pictures alongside Pound coin for scale.

Thanks,
Harry

Nothing jumps out at me. Did you look in the fake coin reports?
