    Hello all:)
    I have a friend who was asking me about authenticity for the Agrippina I coin above. Although it looks good to me, I am looking for more opinions. What you think?
    Thanks in advance!:)

    Nice patina, but the coin underneath does not look very sharp... et la tranche est assez suspecte...
    I don't like this : upload_2026-3-4_19-54-28.png
    I would say : cast fake

    I concur with @GinoLR, that possible edge seam especially does not look good.

    What's the weight and diameter? For giggles, I personally am learning here too.

    It is 29 grams. Sorry but I did not get the diameter.

    The patina looks good, but I'm suspicious of it. The devices (particularly the portrait) and the lettering just look a bit "off" to me.

    But take my opinion with the proverbial grain of salt. I do not have the expertise to render a truly informed opinion on this. I'm just posting my intuitive impression of it.
