I don't think so. If you live in a very humid environment the chlorine ions already present on your coins (if there are any) can become active.
Nothing screams fake about it. From Ephesus, I know there are contemporary counterfeits but I am not sure how to tell them from official ones....
Wow, that is a beauty! Great portrait style. Nilus is looking a little chunky. He needs to put down that horn of plenty now and then and quit...
