<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3162237, member: 56859&quot;]I&#039;m not fluent with Celtic coins but I do have some observations and questions about this coin.&nbsp; In the images, it looks like there is a &quot;rim&quot; on both sides.&nbsp; Is that the case in hand or is it an artifact of the images?&nbsp; In other words, it looks like the edges are slightly raised at the perimeter on both sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Celtic coins imitating Greek coins never look right to me style-wise... because they are Celtic-style (duh <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).&nbsp; I find it hard to vet the style of Celtic coins because of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, despite my inexperience with Celtic coins I&#039;ve seen enough of them and enough cast coins in general to be very&nbsp; suspicious of yours.&nbsp; The legend on the reverse looks mushy or &quot;soapy&quot; (junction with the fields looks &quot;melted&quot;).&nbsp; It&#039;s hard to say much about the surfaces in these small images but I think there may be some casting bubbles.&nbsp; Weight doesn&#039;t help much because these Celtic imitatives are lighter than the Greek tetradrachms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
