sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 10/30/2022 11:01 pm I would never throw a fake or suspected fake ancient coin to trash. It would become part of my 'black' collection, for my, and other collector's education, to be more able to identify fake coins. My 'black' collection currently numbers about 100 pieces, a few very deceiving. Report this Post to the Staff
the_sand New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 10/31/2022 08:33 am As julius mentioned, it could be a Limes denarius, and some Limes denarii were cast. Many (all?) Limes denarii were made of bronze, but, as julius said, perhaps some Limes denarii were silver plated. However, I'm not an expert on Limes denarii. Report this Post to the Staff

My 'black' collection currently numbers about 100 pieces, a few very deceiving. I agree. I have my own black cabinet of ancient and medieval fakes and probable fakes, which I have bought over the years, initially thinking that the coins were authentic, only later to discover that the coins were fake or probably fake.
