Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 08:46 am I think I've gotten better at authenticating these, but this one has been a challenge for me .... The blue tint coloring is throwing me off and the coin feels gritty in hand. It is about 35-38 mm and about 26 g. Thoughts would be appreciated!

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 10:10 am I don't own David Sear's Byzantine Coins and their Values, but based on examples I see in the fake coin databases, this might be a match for F17 (Forgery 17) listed in that book. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 10:35 am Thanks Kam. I googled the examples of F17 and I think you are right. I have not bought this coin and it has sat in a shop through a few discounts (items in used shops in Rome discount after 60;30;30 days) which means buyers who are usually on point on these type coins aren't biting.
