debsenheimer New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/31/2014 5:05 pm Just found this coin at a fair and it caught my eye. Any help with determining whether it's actually an authentic Marc Antony denarius would be really cool. Thanks for the help! I don't have dimensions--couldn't find a ruler. But placed on top of a current US penny (couldn't find a dime either!). don't know weight, but it's heavy for it's size. I would highly doubt it's an alloy. Report this Post to the Staff
