travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 816 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 3:56 pm This being my first serrated coin, I'm not really sure if I'm just overthinking this. It might also be that I'm stunned that I was to purchase a great lot at a decent price. (I will post the rest later) So I'm putting it out there for some opinions. In hand, the coin is stunning and the fabric and deposits on the reverse looks genuine. But the weight and maybe a casting seem is making be a wee bit doubtful. Any opinions would be appreciated. The weight on the examples I've researched are between 3.2 - 3.9 grams. If I've attributed it at all incorrectly, please let me know (sorry for the pics they're not so great.) Q. Fufius Calenus & Mucius Cordus. Serrate denarius, 2.7g (18mm). Rome, 70 BC. Obv: Jugate heads of Honos and Virtus right, labeled HO and VIRT respectively; KALENI below. Rx: Italia (labeled ITAL) clasping hands with Roma (RO), CORDI in exergue. Crawford 403/1. Sydenham 797. RSC Fufia 1. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 18617 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 8:46 pm I can't see the parting line in your pics @tc, but for me that would be a clear indication of it being a fake. Perhaps the serrations around the edge were used to at least partially obscure this aspect.

[Edit] Looks like you may also have identified the feeder channel. Edited by Kushanshah 01/28/2021 11:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 816 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 12:37 pm Yes, sometimes we take a shot and hope to hit it big. The seller has a 30 day money back so I went for it. Here are the pics of the lot, I'm only familiar with the Romans though. If the Mark Antony checks out, then I'm fine even with this dud. Report this Post to the Staff
