lspoe2 New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 6:58 pm Hi All, I found this coin (not bought or given to) and did some research about it however I'm unsure how to find out whether it's real or a replica and don't live close to a coin specialist. The words on one side: SABINIA TRANQVILLINA AVG On the other side: CONCORDIA AVGG It seems to look like the original, which I found here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe...II-s2539.jpg I'm not a coin collector and new to all this so any help would be great.

Since you did not show the edge you might send us a photo and the mm size and weight. Edited by louisvillekyshop 05/22/2019 7:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Victor Pillar of the Community United States 987 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 7:17 pm It's fake. Are you shopping around different forums for a different answer? Report this Post to the Staff
louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1318 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 7:18 pm Apparently a rare coin so it would be a target for counterfeiting. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4459094 Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 7:44 pm As others have told you elsewhere, Tranquillina imperial antoninianii are five-figure coins. Five figure coins attract individuals who can make very good replicas. I am still a little confused about what exactly "found" means. Did you dig it up out of the ground in Italy? Find it on the street? Find it in a Coinstar? If you are absolutely convinced that it's real, send it in for certification. What's a $20 fee for a $15,000 coin? Report this Post to the Staff
lspoe2 New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 8:11 pm I understand the likeliness that its's a fake. Thanks for the advice, I will find someone to send it to for grading. The edge of the coin is about 1mm, that's without the figures on both side which protrude a bit. The horizontal length is 22mm. I don't have any scales at the moment. Report this Post to the Staff

Anyway, when you say you will "find someone to send it to for grading" the website is below. https://www.NGCcoin.com/submit-coin...-submit.aspx Report this Post to the Staff
