Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 733 Posts	Posted 05/18/2023 10:56 am Hi all, There's currently some debate here as to whether or not this coin is authentic. 19mm / 2.9g. Your thoughts please. Many thanks. Edited by Hogarth 05/18/2023 11:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1303 Posts	Posted 05/18/2023 11:24 am Hello: You cut the photo out of the background and I think that remaining background is some sort of a wooden table. I say that as others might think that is bronze around the coin, but it is just an artifact of your photo technique. I downloaded the coin, blew it up, and the coin is ancient not to worry, in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 1:00 pm The edge cracks appear to be superficial and don't match obverse to reverse. The extra metal near the eye and cheek is troubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 733 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 1:42 pm Conflicting opinions, that's troubling. Which is the extra metal? I'm not quite sure what is meant by this. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 8:02 pm The "extra metal" Kushanshah refers to is, I would assume, the blob beneath the eye. For me, it's the "Bulgarian lips" on both obverse and reverse that are the biggest red flag. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
