Doctorwho2485 Valued Member New Zealand 292 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 8:46 pm Everyone I've been checking out NZ Trademe like ebay in the coin area and I saw this one of Antoninus Pius for sale and also a Denarius of Lucilla and I'm wondering if they look alright or if they are Cast fakes? Here's the links: https://www.trademe.co.nz/antiques-...5d95016bd0d7. https://www.trademe.co.nz/antiques-...5d95016bd0d7. Report this Post to the Staff

By the way, I'm glad to see that you finally got your avatar!

jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 9:56 pm Both look legit to me, but the price seems above market even at NZ$ price given how worn they are. Pius is plentiful in better grades for the same money. Report this Post to the Staff
MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 11:58 pm The Antonius Pius looks like it could be RIC 288. I am a rookie at attributing ancients though and could be way off. What do you think...http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/..._pius/i.html The Lucilla is a little more worn and a little herder for me to pin down. As for authenticity, I will leave that to the pros.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 01:25 am Both look fine, but I agree slightly overpriced. The Antoninus Pius has a decent portrait, but I would expect to pay $5-10 less than the minimum bid for a coin in that shape. Report this Post to the Staff

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 1:02 pm I agree, they look fine, but overpriced. This is a Hadrian I got for about $25USD.I also have a Pius as well for about the same price. I have, however, overpayed for some coins. My advise, do your research and then buy.
