ViJo272 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/30/2020 11:38 am I found this coin in a collection I inherited. It looks Roman to me, but I am no expert, I've just been to a lot of museums. Follow-up question: how does one know if something like this is genuine? Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

Assuming this has the same volume as a genuine coin, the density of the metal used is about 4.19 grams per cubic centimeter. A far cry from silver's 10.49 grams per cubic centimeter.
