    Hi i need help identifying a coin. I think it is a Roman coin and from some testing I have done I think it is made of gold. The coin has a weight of 27 grams. It is 3,6 cm across and 0,3 cm thick. I appreciate any help I can get with identifying this coin.

    It is fake. The cast mushy details give it away as being fake.

    Thanks for you reply. I had my suspicions about it being fake but now I know.

    The size and weight tells me it can't be gold. It is slightly smaller in diameter than a morgan dollar and slightly thicker, but weighs just about the same. A gold coin that size would probably be close to 40 grams. A double eagle is smaller and thinner than what you describe and it weighs 33.46 grams
