[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 8000395, member: 41219"]I mean, just because it doesn't "look" ancient doesn't mean it isn't... ;) That being said, I tend to agree with what Theodosius said, the green around the coin seems to conveniently "highlight" the lettering and stuff on the coin. I would expect there to be a little more wear for a coin with that kind of deposits. Looks like they tried to make it look more ancient. Could be wrong though. The weight in grams and diameter in mm would be awesome. For funsies, here is the sole Galerius in the FF collection: [ATTACH=full]1387997[/ATTACH] Galerius Maximian 301-303 AD Follis Lyons Mint Obverse: MAXIMIANVS NOB C, laureate, cuirassed bust right Reverse: GENIO POP-VLI ROMANI Genius standing left by altar, modius on head, naked except for chlamys over left shoulder, holding patera and cornucopiae. A in right field. Mintmark PLG[/QUOTE]
