<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1736351, member: 26302&quot;]Btw, to throw a bone to Anoob, this look is a little more common on authentic coins from central asia/persia than it is from roman/greek coins. Something about the soil conditions that lead to overall surface softness look from coins dug there it appears. Of authentic coins that look like this, most have been parthian/indo greek, etc. Such softness of strike, surfaces, and black toning is usually a sign of cast coinage for all but central asian coins. Even for central asian I look long and hard, (and ask opinions), before accepting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman silver should look like Bing&#039;s fine avatar pic. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
