I vote authentic. You should be proud. It's very rare that someone comes into this forum, with a story like yours, and posts an authentic coin;...
Nice pick up. I believe the Magistrate on your coin is read as MNAΣIMAXOΣ "M'nasimachos;" as compared to MNΛΣΙΜΛΝΟΣ, which wouldn't read...
@Mark King It looks like a home made (clay/pewter?) good luck charm/talisman. The triangle with the two segments looks similar to those found on...

I looked through Forumancientcoin's fake reports, wildwinds, CNG, ACsearch, and coinarchives. Looking for matching fakes or die matches of genuine...

@Josh1990 can you provide a few pictures of the edge? Focused would be nice. Imho, I see no reason to doubt authenticity, yet. Weight, legend,...
