AE 30mm , Agrippina I, SPQR MEMORIAE AGRIPPINAE
« on: September 05, 2016, 07:25:04 am »
Hello.
I'm doubt to buy this coin. The edges look a little sharp. Actually I'm not an expert, I didn't identify this coin )))
Weight - unknown. Size 29-30 mm.
Thanks

Bad fake cast--but we do not use this forum to ask about potential purchases.  Do not buy anything unless you know what you are buying or are buying from a perfectly reliable dealer--such as Forum!

It sounds like you are asking us if you should buy this coin. The most important rule for buying ancient coins is - know the coin, or know the seller, or do not buy. You must either know the coin is genuine based on your own knowledge of coins, or know you can rely on the seller's honesty and expertise to know the coin is genuine. You should not buy based on other people's opinions of photographs. We want to help you to be a smart collector. Don't ask us to help you be not smart.
