louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1303 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 12:39 pm I tried to crop and orient the photos a bit for you: In my opinion it is not real. There is no incrustation of thousands of years and the green is not what I am looking at. The clean silver surface should show age. That clean surface silver part that is visible is just flat and looks modern. Whatever that green is others can comment, but it might be as simple as a chemical agent dripped on the coin to age it and the green is a salt of copper under the silver perhaps. Color of the green is a perfect match for CuSO4 Penta Hydrate so maybe just some battery acid which is sulfuric acid is dripped on the surface. The last 2 photos I added is the salt I am talking about for comparison so the very last one is when a person heats the hydrate salt up and it goes through a more yellow green stage. You have all three of the colors in your coin. Sorry... Edited by louisvillekyshop 09/04/2022 1:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
NoahBUS New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 7:40 pm Thanks for the comments guys. The obverse was the main thing I was concerned about because it definitely looked a bit artificial [doesn't have that old coin look present like on the other 30 denarii I have] and the quality of the bust itself looked a bit off to me as well. Appreciate the input, will pass on it. Report this Post to the Staff
