[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3309749, member: 87809"]You have an awesome coin! Reference is RIC I (second edition) 42A, mint: Caesaragusta , Lusitania 19 - 20 BC. If you take a look at [url]http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).aug.42A[/url] the first coin displayed also weights 3.52 g. Don't think it is tooled. Compare the hair shown on your coin with those on coins at numismatics.org. I have seen many Augustus coins on which the hair looks like on your coin. I myself have one of these, but it is RIC 42 B, head to the left. (Haven't taken a picture yet). Regarding your question: My humble and very personal advice: enjoy your coin, rest assured, and I think that maybe many of us really cannot be 100% sure of the authenticity of the coins we have? If you want to be sure maybe you could send it to a grading service?[/QUOTE]
