Antoninus Pius-Consecratio denarius.
« on: March 13, 2009, 07:59:58 pm »
Hola, today I purchased the following coin, I think a low price ($ 49.00), do not see anything that makes me assume that is fake, call me paranoid, but would like to know your opinion on it.

Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161). Divus Antoninus Pius, Denarius, struck under Marcus Aurelius, AD 161.
Ob: DIVVS ANTONINVS, bare head right, rev CONSECRATIO, pyre of four tiers, decorated with hangings and garlands, surmounted by quadriga.
RIC 436; C 164; RCV 5193 var.

Gracias
Mario

The image gives me no reason to think it is a fake, but I have not checked the Fake Coin Reports.

Thanks Pete, David and Vitellivs, very kind to give me yours opinions.   
I believe it is a very pretty coin with a beautiful patina, it had hurted me and afraid a lot if it was not genuine. 

Thanks again.
