    I compared the images side-by-side. To my eyes, they are not a die match. Again, I'm no expert at this, but your coin seems to have the correct surface texture and the weight is spot on.

    You are still an okay judge in my book, ominus1! I appreciate the feedback.

    Thank you Bing - I need all the reassurance I can get. This was one of my first ancients, way before "forgery network" or anything .com.
