Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 6:04 pm To my untrained eye it looks to be a copy of a Roman Sestertius of Emperor Commodus....But wait and see what the experts come up with.... Maybe a good idea to move this thread to the ancients section? Edited by Palouche 04/23/2019 6:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 8:06 pm @sgeneina, looks cast to me, but could you please try to take a pic of the edge to post here. (In-focus would be the best). Thx!

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 8:57 pm Looks cast and there seems to be a seam at around 11 o'clock, but as Spence suggested a pick of the edge will help. Edited by travelcoin 04/23/2019 9:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
sgeneina New Member Egypt 28 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 9:48 pm guys thanks so much , here are some pics of the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 10:12 pm The edge looks to be filed to try and hide the casting seam. They didn't do a great job, as you can still clearly see it. Sorry to say, a fake. Keep it in a "Black Box" ( we all have one). Report this Post to the Staff
