Thank you so much. I think silver testing at this stage for me may be beyond my skills but trawling through the site for much of the day I've learnt quite a lot - I'm seeing a lot of details around the very edge of the hairline and parts of the
face that are quite detailed, they're not really clear on my pics but would hint at it not being a
cast. I was originally dreading someone saying, yep, that's
fake 109, you can tell from the...etc.
For anyone
still reading - I've collected
Roman coins with no focus for almost 30 years and have been ticking off the emperors on a poster I've
had for quite a while - great fun. It's only in the last year or two I've made an effort with the twelve and know that
Galba isn't
cheap but I'd convinced myself before I paid - of course the doubt creeps in when it arrives and you research after! Hindsight eh?! Any further reassurance welcome
