Red Hope Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 1:48 pm I've seen these four coins for sale. From the pictures, can anybody tell if they may or may not be fake...? They're small pix so not sure how great the details are to tell that. Report this Post to the Staff

xodus Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 2:01 pm Yea, the upper left one is a little funny but the other 3 all look like very common coins from the 4th century. Report this Post to the Staff

Dutchgulden Pillar of the Community Netherlands 1204 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 2:05 pm Genuine, top left is overcleaned I think Report this Post to the Staff
Red Hope Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 2:06 pm Sweet. Sounds like great practice coins for cleaning then. I won't cry if they get "wrecked". Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 8:46 pm Only the top right looks like it "needs cleaning". But really, no cleaning is needed, since they are all legible. Rather than increasing whatever value (not a lot) they have, stripping the three AE's that still have their original Patina will turn them into Culls. The top left, as already mentioned, has no Patina left and so that one has nothing obvious to clean off. Edited by Masis 03/11/2014 12:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 03/10/2014 9:28 pm an interesting wicked sneer on the face of that constantinople commemorative. Report this Post to the Staff
Red Hope Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 03/11/2014 8:59 pm Thanks, y'all for the replies about whether the coins were iffy or not. The seller had said it had desert dirt on it. Maybe it's just dust in reality. And I like that wicked sneer on the constantinople coin... very roman. :) Report this Post to the Staff
