bk67 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/01/2011 6:39 pm I recently acquired a box of world coins. As I was sorting through it, I came across a coin that looks just like the one in this link. It has all of the same marking as the coin in the picture. It sticks to a magnet..and it has a copper or bronze like color, and it's very round. The stamp is a bit off..but not sure about it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. * Edited by Staff to move images here. * Report this Post to the Staff

There's your killer - ancient peoples rarely made coins out of iron, and the very few they did make aren't in anywhere near this good condition after being buried for 2000 years. Sorry, but it's not genuine. 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.
