<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AngelKitty, post: 1485722, member: 37889&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought an ancient coin that just arrived today. I&#039;m naturally suspicious of <i>everything </i>I buy online, especially if I feel like I got a good price on it, and from the photos on the listing it looked authentic. I&#039;m...really not an ancient coins expert. In fact, I know exactly zilch about ancient coins except that they&#039;re old, so I&#039;m curious if anybody could help me out here.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the coin I bought:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]188285.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]188286.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From the pictures I posted, does it look real? It looks alright to me, but I honestly have no idea how to tell. In-hand it feels pretty heavy (I don&#039;t have a scale here, but I have one in the lab I can weigh it on). It&#039;s 22-23mm wide, and around 1.5mm thick at the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anybody help me out? What indicators should I look for on coins like this for authenticity? Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
