First Post and Coin Authentication
« on: March 31, 2019, 02:11:20 pm »
Hello!

I am a new member here, but a years long enthusiast of archaeology and history. I hope I can be a good addition to this forvm. I come across a quite a few coins, mostly that people have found. Although I do know how to identify coins usually, I am not as good as determining that they re always authentic. I have been learning though!

Anyway, I came across this coin, I am not sure if it is authentic or not, maybe you all can help? I know it is from the Jewish revolt, and I think it is from year 2.

The pictures are attached.

Best regards,
Lupus

Unlikely to be authentic.  I rotated, cropped and removed the background for easier viewing...
