<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverlock, post: 3200228, member: 98181&quot;]Unless it’s a terrible copy, it’s almost impossible to discern if a coin is real or not from photographs. Ancient coins are never perfect and considerable variation is to be expected. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why do you question the authenticity of the coin? Did you acquire it from a questionable seller or one on the fake seller list? Was the price too good to be true? Is it a die match for coins in Fake Reports? On warm days does chocolate drip from a seam along the edge? That last is a joke, but the point is if you acquired it from a reliable source you should have nothing to worry about. </p><p><br /></p><p>More than anything, the source of the coin will influence opinion on authenticity. If acquired from a reputable ancient coin dealer, the odds of it being real are very high. If acquired for a euro from a kid outside the Colliseum, the odds of it being real are very low. Most coins from random “Estate Find!!!!!” type eBay sellers are little above the kid outside the Colliseum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
