ad_litteram New Member Romania 37 Posts	Posted 10/28/2013 2:46 pm Hello everyone, I recently bought a coin off ebay, a claimed Gordian and Tranquilina from 244 AD, 11.34 g, 26 mm diameter. The questions: Is it real ? If not, no sense in reading the next ones. :) 1. Is there any way of confirming the exact year it was minted from what's written on the coin ? 2. How about the place it was minted ? 3. How much would I be able to sell it for if I were to do that ? (i won't, just curious :P) Thank you very much for your help.
