    Does anyone see anything off about this coin that gives it away as being a fake? Does anyone think it's authentic? Screenshot_20180729-211522.png Screenshot_20180729-211541.png

    Looks like it was someone's pocket piece for a while.

    Not soapy or cast. Its pretty apparent. How much is it for?

    The seller is selling it as a fake. I personally don't see any thing wrong with it, but I figured since I'm relatively new to anceint coins that it would be a good idea to ask first.
     
  10. It's a known cast forgery. I recall seeing it on forgerynetwork, but can't find it again. I remember it being the width of a tetradrachm, but only 6 grams.
