Hello, I recently purchased a follis of Diocletian at a local coin show . The holder it came in says it was from the London Coin Galleries .
My concern is that it is a modern cast fake due to part of the rim.

Pictures aren't clear enough for me to say for sure. Unless there is a line along the edge for what I can tell it looks OK.
