<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3523149, member: 76194&quot;]The bottom mark looks modern. Makes me wonder...though there is a possibility the coin could be genuine and the mark modern. I&#039;ve heard of some 19th century collectors having their initials stamped into ancient coins in their collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one thing that may suggest cast to me is the reverse pitting which sometimes is a sign of bubles during the casting process, though there is a chance stuff like that could be seen in a genuine coin with corrosion being a possibility (magnification of the coin will reveal the truth). Without a better picture I personally won&#039;t give an opinion. Would love to see edge shots, and also weight of the coin...if OP can provide that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the non-answer...but I see both things that say &quot;genuine&quot; and things that raise red flags. So I don&#039;t feel comfortable saying one way or the other. If I saw that coin on sale I&#039;d pass. There&#039;s plenty of coins out there without all these question marks and red flags .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
