<p>[QUOTE="ominus1, post: 2930669, member: 89687"]I got this in a few days ago and had my doubts about it being an official coin. It had a bankers mark, test cut and was well worn, but i really couldn't see any sign of silver on it(of course, now i can). I've studied about these and other MA coins heavy for the last few days and thought of sending it back. Then today i was thinking... well, it's already got a test cut in it, so why not "test" it myself(in the same ancient cut, of course). I did and it was a shiny revelation<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.. so now i have a long sought after Marc Anthony silver denarius plus a temple coin all in one with removal of doubt<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Portrait Marc Anthony bust right</p><p>Reverse: Sol in temple, face of Apollo on disc(worn mostly away)</p><p>minted in Greece by traveling military after the battle of Philippe, circa 42 BC. 2.94 gms.
