<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 4802801, member: 74282"]I'll weigh in and say in my opinion, having handled many similar coins, I think this coin is perfectly authentic. Weight, style, fabric and patina all look correct for the type. The current condition of the surfaces and the heavy toning in protected areas with the lack of it in the raised areas make me think this was perhaps someone's pocket piece that accidentally made its way into their change. Often it's not possible to be certain from a photo, but these pictures are good enough for me to say with a very high degree of certainty that this coin is an authentic anonymous denarius from the Roman Republic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
