echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 8:36 pm OK, with a little more rearch I was able to find it. The coin is real and is RIC III 438b issued under Antoninius Pivs. Nice example. Edited by echizento 09/01/2011 8:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 8:42 pm I of course could not say definitively, but if it is fake it's a good one. The serifs on the inscriptions look very good and there appears to be flow lines on the obverse. Lets see what is uncovered. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 9:37 pm It appears genuine to me. In essence, there is nothing in the images to make me believe this is otherwise. What is the size and weight? JW Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 12:39 pm Beautiful bust (now theres a phrase you cant often say to a stranger without being slapped) - one of the best I've ever seen! Greek coins almost always win where 'eye appeal' is concerned but I really like yours. Report this Post to the Staff
