Roman? Coin Fake or Genuine
« on: September 28, 2021, 10:04:36 pm »
Hello I recently found this coin that a relative of mine used to own and I am curious if its authentic. I myself am no expert so I am unsure and I am here to get opinions. Thank you!

Is that a seam around the edge?

Yes, that is a seam--and the in-pour place is visible on the reverse.  Fake!
