dbalazek New Member Slovenia 3 Posts	Posted 01/22/2014 11:08 am Hello! I would like to know if this ancient roman coin is worth anything, since I did not find any other similar pictures from it. I would be really thankful if someone could identify the coin as authentic. Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/22/2014 12:29 pm Not authentic at all. No doubt about it in my mind. Report this Post to the Staff
dbalazek New Member Slovenia 3 Posts	Posted 01/22/2014 12:49 pm So it's practically worthless ? The man that gave it to me claims that he found it in his youth around 50 years ago. Thank you for your answers! Report this Post to the Staff

Triskeles Auctions Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 01/22/2014 3:14 pm Don't throw it in the trash bin yet. The coin is not overtly fake in my opinion. I'm not saying it is genuine, either; I'd have to see it in hand to tell for certain. However, there are several things about it that look perfectly normal for an authentic ancient sestertius of Vespasian, and only one thing about it that (slightly) bothers me. Can you get a larger, high res image of it and email it to me please? Best, John Report this Post to the Staff
