I recently got this Mark Antony Legionary Denarius LEG III. I was wondering if you could give me your opinions as to whether it is genuine or not. I have studied photos and think there's a good chance of it being genuine however I know there are reproduction around. The coin measures 18mm and weighs 2.96 grams. One side of the coin is thinner than the other and the edge seems smooth. One thing I noticed was the lack of crossbars on the letter A's of ANT AVG. Could anyone tell me what the imprinted marks "W" or "VV" are on the obverse? Thanks for your help! Dave. Edited by Ironwood 12/22/2019 07:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
