    I see nothing to make me question its authenticity. The reverse is particularly nice.

    @Beartooth let me be completely clear. I'm no authority on anything. The coin looks amazing, so I understand your question. I don't know, but I don't see anything obvious that would make me think it was fake. Plus, Vcoins, from what I've heard, has a very good reputation. I hope so, because I'm looking at a couple in their site. Someone with more knowledge than me should be along soon. Hope all is good.

    Reason I'm asking is that a few people in the FB ancient coin room thought it looked genuine, but suspicious, with resurfacing and repatination

    I’m not good with ancient coins but it looks good to me.
