Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 5:41 pm 9.55 grams, 22.8 mm. Not marked copy. Parts of the edge could have a seam, other portions it is not apparent to me. Picked it up in a junkbox and have placed it in my fake pile. The white is not on the coin. What is it pretending to be? Do I read NERON KAISAR on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 6:03 pm Seems to be referencing a Nero tet from Antioch which, I believe, should be an AR or billon issue. Like: http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/pav...Default.aspx Could yours have been a fouree? Are those remnants of silver clinging to it?

Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 06/07/2015 02:14 am Correct. It's a mass-produced cast fake, probably a "tourist copy". If you do a forum search for "Nero BIP", you'll find several others that have been posted here in the past. In most of them, the presence of a prominent seam is discussed. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
