<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 7716471, member: 82549&quot;]There&#039;s nothing about the coin that strikes me as obviously fake. From the looks of it, I&#039;m guessing that there was some copper mixed in with the silver that has leached out over time. That would explain the porosity and the greenish deposits. It&#039;s not unreasonable to assume that Celtic coins had a wider range of silver purity, since most of their coins were intended for local use. </p><p><br /></p><p>For added assurance, you could check some of the fake coin databases (<a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/</a>) to see if it&#039;s been reported as a known fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
