<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2598320, member: 19463&quot;]While I appreciate the clear photo and calling it Limes, I really do not recommend buying coins of this nature.&nbsp; I lack the certainty to tell the old ones from modern ones and would suggest putting a few dollars with the cost of this and buying a silver coin.&nbsp; The style does not strike me as obviously ancient and I have no way of improving my expertise in this matter. Do we have an expert on Mamaea that would like to comment? </p><p>For comparison, the one below is what I would term fourree with thicker silver but style that does not strike me as correct as would be expected from an ancient counterfeit but could also be modern.&nbsp; I believe it is ancient but that is largely because making such a fake now would be more work than making a low grade solid silver one.&nbsp; I bought it from a knowledgeable dealer in 1990 for $15.&nbsp; I would not do that again. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]566719[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
