<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3003580, member: 83956&quot;]I thought about that possibility as well. But if my coin is associated with a fake at all, it&#039;s tainted for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular coin type is important to me. I teach <i>THE AENEID</i> every semester and always show related coins. Host coin or not, if I keep this coin and use it in lecture, I&#039;m always going to have a question in the back of my mind about whether it&#039;s real or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I share JA&#039;s concern about the silver quality, but at time of purchase I didn&#039;t feel I had handled enough denarii to know the variations of what can happen to 2000 year old silver. And I still don&#039;t. Again, I just assumed that the VCoins dealer knew more than I did, and I was not inclined to question the dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>And to be clear, I accept JA&#039;s observation that even dealers make mistakes. I&#039;m not alleging anything nefarious on the dealer&#039;s part. I will contact him today and let you know how it goes. Thanks to all for the responses so far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
