<p>[QUOTE="Matt from Indiana, post: 8435738, member: 90628"]Not an ancient expert by any means, but that lion looks like a poor quality casting. There is apparently equal wear on the high points and the recesses, which is not typical. Always possible it’s an artifact of cleaning, but I stay clear of coins that look like that without any sort of provenance or certification. It really reminds me of a hand poured silver bar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
