Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 9:06 pm Ron, the surface of this coin looks pretty porous (e.g. below his ear and in the fold between his neck and shoulder). Is that pretty common with these?

lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 11:15 pm To me this coin looks like a cast reproduction. The lack of detail, porous field surfaces, and mushiness of the figures and lettering are very similar to the appearance of a silver cast piece in my rogue's gallery. Not sure that the fact it is bronze makes a difference. Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 10:59 pm I agree with LRBGuy, this looks cast (or to be passed off as a forgery of an AE AS. I can't see any mark on the coin to show it is a copy and hence to be taken only as a copy). The lettering is also odd, such as the "S C". Report this Post to the Staff
