Help identifying please

Hello,

I was hoping someone here could me identify this coin. I believe it's Roman from what I've found online. Any help is appreciated!

It's a denarius of Antoninus Pius - a memorial issue celebrating his deification. The obverse legend is DIVUS ANTONINVS. The reverse legend is CONSECRATIO.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

is the coin genuine? it looks a little strange to me...kind of "soft"?

 

I honestly have no idea. My father left it to me when he passed away.

 

I would expect it to be a little more sharp. Hard to tell though, sometimes those ancients can get that look over time due to a number of reasons.

 

Hard to br certain from just an image, but I would suspect it to be genuine.

 

Really?

... I'm certainly hoping that low-grade coin is at least genuine? (hardly worth fakin') ... oh but yah, I've been wrong before

 

I see the mount is marked 14k and there is something scratched on the clasp. Overall the style does not look like something I'd do in 14k. While I first believed the coin to be real, I would be interested in someone who knows jewelry commenting on the mount. I would have thought it might be a home made casting but that might not be marked.

 

Any idea if this coin has any value?

 

Even if it were authentic, it would be worth very little because of its condition.
