<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Olisipo, post: 2263210, member: 75543&quot;]So, I sent the AH those three pictures in the first post. They insist the coins are genuine - claiming they were checked by experts with five decades of experience - and are now saying that the marks on the edge show it was ground, yes, but merely because it was used as jewelry at some point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, let&#039;s play along... I know of gold roman coins being attached to necklaces. Even silvers in appealing condition (I have a silver Franc from the 1880s someone soldered to a chain). But have you, in your experience as collectors, ever come across a coin in so dismal condition as that Antoninus being employed as adornment? Because I find that very, very hard to believe...</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, wouldn&#039;t the file marks in that circunstance be uniform, forming a flat surface along the edge?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
