Authentic Julius Caesar denarius? Or???

Any thoughts on the authenticity of this coin would be appreciated! Recent purchase and plan on having authentication done if it seems worthy.
If not - its being returned promptly.

Could you perhaps get some better/bigger images?

 

Yep!

 

Looks very much cast sir to me.

 

I agree with @medoraman. Looks cast.

 

Just so you know what the previous posters mean, casts like this one are fakes.

 

Another question is, where did you get it from? If it was from eBay, at an inexpensive price, then you have to question it's authenticity. If you purchased it from a reputable dealer, then you should feel reasonably comfortable.

 

Thanks everyone- returned for a refund without a problem. It was the first - and last time I’ll buy from eBay.

 

Next question- does anyone have experience with MA shops?

 

Of course. I think of them as the European version of vcoins. Some sellers are on both. MA Shops is not one store, but many. If you are concerned with the reputation of a seller, it is the individual seller that matters, not MA Shops as a whole.

 

Hey new question- I know eBay is not always an ideal place to purchase coins.
But I was kind of curious about this listing in the above photos.
Any thoughts on weather this coin looks authentic?
