livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2213 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 2:22 pm If you have a scale weigh it, or buy a scale, they aren't expensive. Weigh your coin and compare it to weights of similar coins on places like Wildwinds, acsearch.info. There's also a site with pics of fakes, Dr. Krokopov's fake ancient coin reports, look there to see if there are any matches. I'm not familiar enough with this coin type to give an opinion if it is genuine or copy/fake. Edited by livingwater 02/28/2023 2:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
