Hi Everyone,
This coin was purchased at an antique
auction house together with other 32
ancient coins, 17 of which I believe to be
forgeries (i will post each of the suspect to this
forum board separately).
It
weights 3.43 grams, which, I guess, is quiet low.
The coin has
pitted surface, lacks sharpness in detail and to my eye has some intentional
scratching to imitate circulation, also
fake patina. The
rim damage doesn't seem "unintentional" and does look strange considering the age of the coin and the likelihood of silver
crystallization.
So in my opinion this coin is a
cast fake, but I would highly appreciate the
forum members to say their opinions.
Thanks a lot for
help in advance!
