Is it Fake?
« on: March 05, 2010, 09:04:42 pm »
Trajan Decius Antoninianus.
23mm, 5.15g

I thought it is a real.
But I found the seller is listed [notorious fake seller].

How about you?



P.S. Sorry. I cant not speak English well.

I have several T. Decius antoniniani and would say that it is on the heavy side but not exceptionally so. Definitely a struck coin from the flow marks - not a cast. The style looks authentic.
