Can't say from the pictures, too dark. Which make me suspect that it might not be real.

I agree, echizento. Sorry, t0rress, but IMO they're modern copies. The fields look too flat and perfect to be real, while the portraits are too "fresh" looking. The style of engraving of each portrait is so similar it makes one suspect they are from the same hand -- a fair rarity if they were authentic. On the other hand, they're nice-looking coins, and would make nice tokens to keep around while you're looking for the real thing.

. I have no idea what the price might be, but if it sounds too good to be true.......This coin should be fairly rare and thus demand a pretty penny.

I'm afraid I'd have to vote "no" too.

For me, the key cause for concern is the reverse portrait, of the elder Antonius (your second pic). On all the genuine coins on Wildwinds - there are eleven of them - the bottom tip of the bust truncation is right down at the edge of the coin, touching or almost touching the beaded border. That seems to be correct for the style of the period. On your coin, the tip of the truncation is nowhere near the border.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
