I am looking to pick up some ancient coins as a counterpoint to my main collection. In this endeavor I have been causally perusing ancients on
ebay. I have noticed that there are a fair amount of coins, such as several this seller has, that look like they were made by Pine Tree Castings*.
I have seen some far worse looking than these . So my question is in two parts..
Is this coin authentic?
Was Investment Casting used to make ancient bronze and/or silver coins?
Well it just might help if a added the link....
