<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 26026448, member: 91820&quot;]Looks like natural pitting - when in doubt look for a die match - I THINK that if you find a die match it means the coin is authentic - but I guess a fake could be made from an impression of an authentic coin.&nbsp; You should also check out the fakes on the Forum database and see if your coin is there.&nbsp; That database has saved me at least half dozen times - most recently a Nero sestertius purchased from an established dealer that was a die match to a fake on the site. Those who have fakes should send photographs to the site - it is an essential tool - it would have saved me considerable time and trouble if I had checked it out BEFORE buying the coin.&nbsp; But I never thought that an established dealer would sell a fake, although to be fair to the auction house it was a pretty good one![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
