<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3023658, member: 76086"]Generally based on the photos I would say the coin is ancient. The right kind of casting seams are not unusual on ancients (as the planchets were all cast). It has a slightly 'barbaric' look to the style and lettering and that combined with what looks like die cracks (or as [USER=13719]@randygeki[/USER] point out) might be cracks in a forgers mould, I would say its likely an ancient forgery. Its very interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
