january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5176 Posts	Posted 05/17/2016 6:13 pm Not Greek. If real, it's a Roman Republican coin (probably denarius). IMHO, it looks too good to be true, but I don't know enough to be sure on that part. Far too non-expert on this topic to comment further. Report this Post to the Staff

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 05/18/2016 6:31 pm Looks like a fouree to me too, Ron. The silver surface is broken through on both sides, with green deposits that are associated with copper, not silver. It would appear that the core is not silver. Report this Post to the Staff
