    still my risico to buy it

    Roman Empire - Octavian (29 - 27 B.C.) silver denarius (3,50 g. 19 mm.). Rome mint. IMP CAESAR. Triumphal arch in the Forum in Rome to honour the Octavian´s victory in Actium. Rare.

    Bare head of Octavian right.
    IMP CAESAR, on architrave of arch surmounted by facing quadriga bearing Octavian. RIC 267; RIC 267; BMC 624; Sear Imperators 422; RSC 123 (Augustus).
    Good very fine condition, lightly toned. Great portrait and rare reverse. Excellent example in hand, beautiful Augustus denarius!
    This coin was struck to commemorate Octavian's victory at the Battle of Actium over the forces of Marc Antony and Cleopatra, the reverse probably depicts the triumphal arch erected in the Forum in Rome to honour Octavian, circa 29 B.C.

    thanks:happy:

    I didn't offer advice because I know nothing about these coins.

    Without viewing, I couldn't tell whether I could help or not. :(

    46 people without advice merely means that 46 people don't know enough about the type to comment. The post has only been up for a short time, don't give up yet...

    LOL, Duuuude.... Do not worry about "LIKES", "VIEWS", etc. They get you nothing. However, educated comments, other coin postings, etc. mean much more. EVEN, if there is only ONE posting within a thread. :) Enjoy the Hobby, not the "popularity" on the Forum.

    Photos won't load on my phone, probably because of my connection so I don't know about the coin.

    You're sending mixed messages asking for help and at the same time saying you're not asking for help. I don't understand what you're saying.

    Buy coins from reliable sellers.

    Even though I know nothing of the type, I say genuine for the following reasons.

    1. I see clear telltale signs that the coin is crystalized, particularly the surface patterns around 6 to 7 o'clock on the obverse leads me to believe that. Add in corrosion in the silver and it looks pretty convincingly ancient (burried in harsh soil for a long time.)

    2. Signs of horn silver deposits on the obverse and reverse.

    3. Style of portrait is convincing.

    Problems

    The obverse around 2 to 3 o'clock has been smoothed possibly to remove horn silver deposits. Corrosion all around, crystallization, and mild horn deposits on the reverse, are also minuses.

    That being said, a nice coin still...but the smooth spot on the obverse does get me. Others might not care as much about that though. You decide how you feel about everything...i cant tell you what to buy.

    The original coin looks fine from the image, but images can be deceiving. I would say from the crystallization it is most likely authentic.
