<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7823986, member: 97383&quot;]wittwolf, I agree with the other <b>CT </b>members, the coin isn&#039;t rare &amp; appears genuine. Your apprehension is understandable since the coin has a pitted surface, but this condition is common with antoniniani of this period. The silver content was so low that they easily corroded during burial. I have a Syrian Tet of Herennius Etruscus that was treated with more kindness during burial, pictured below. The coinage of his brother Hostilian is scarce/rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1344472[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Antioch -Syria, Herennius Etruscus, AD 251.
