<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3528262, member: 76194"]The thing is, a rare coin like that probably had few dies employed in the minting process as they weren't minted anywhere near the level of a denarius or sestertius. Some of these coins only have 10 or 12 known pairs of dies. So I bet you someone like David Sear could look at your coin and know right away if it is or isn't good. Spend the $50 or $60 and send it in. And if it does turn our to be real, you can probably sell it and buy yourself a whole collection of Roman and Greek coins (probably 100+ bronze and silver beauties) for the price you'll get from this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
