vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 06/29/2014 07:03 am Hello People, In my collection I've got this Roman coin. Which is possibly hardly cleaned in the past. I think it is an AS but from which emperor (caracella?) and the mintplace etcetera. I don't know. Hope someone could of help me to figure this one out. Report this Post to the Staff

vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 06/29/2014 09:38 am oh, What a shame. SO even bad looking coins can be fakes. Though this would of been maybe 2 dollars worth because off the bad looking if it was real. Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 06/30/2014 7:56 pm Size and weight would help here. It does look a bit odd but It may be the way it has had the gold tone coating removed. A pic of the edge would help too. Without those I am going to say repro for visitors market. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff
