TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 12:17 pm Here is #4. I am concerned about the wt. on this one. It is light. Wildwinds shows this at 3.56 grams. This one is only 1.9 grams. Also it has some gunk that I have not tried to remove but may. Do you guys think it is legit? It "looks" very real IMHO, but the wt...hmmm Severus Alexander,1.9 gr., 19mm I am pretty sure it is RIC 215-RSC0560, http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/seve...ander/t.html Denarius. Antioch mint. IMP SEV ALEXAND AVG, laureate draped bust right / VICTORIA AVG, Victory running right with palm and wreath, star in right field. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 1:23 pm Although 1.9g seems light, I wouldn't be overly concerned. The coin looks right and has good eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 2:31 pm Thanks Bing! It still seems like a big difference in wt. but my scale may be weighing a bit light. I think that I started jumping at shadows after thinking the magnetic coin I received in the same lot was a fake. I am now getting a lot more excited about my new purchases! Yours from the FUN show are awesome! Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 01/15/2013 01:15 am I am leaning in the direction that this authentic. I agree with Bing that the coin looks authentic. In hand it looks even more authentic IMHO; the crack in the coin has the right look about it. The wear, style, and over-all fabric just look right. I think that's why I was so shocked to find out it was so light. I will give it a acetone bath and see if the ugly will come off. Whether it does or not this coin is growing on me:) Report this Post to the Staff
