jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 11:11 am Hello, Double checking the attribution of this piece, legend seems to be of Philippus but couldn't find an exact match... Do I have the emperor correct? Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 11:39 am This coin purports to be a Philip I sestertius but I am skeptical of it's authenticity. It looks like a crude cast fake. The base metal doesn't look bronze and it also looks like it has fake patina and maybe even filed edges to cover up the casting seem. Real example here: http://www.coinproject.com/coin_det...?coin=252330 Can you provide any other information? Weight,size,picture of edge?
