<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 384279, member: 6370"]I wouldnt make any authenticity judgement unless I simply see glaring signs of casting or the like. I can see enough of the coins detail to tell you it is not even close to as well preserved as the one I posted. I also see that it has pockmarks and soft details that COULD be a sign of casting.</p><p> </p><p>This is a pretty valuable coin to have just found somewhere...the first one I posted sold for around 3000 USD, yours seems to be in worse condition. This is a coin that is roughly 2500 years old. You say you found the coin 'somewhere'...knowing where and how you found the coin would be of interest to me. </p><p> </p><p>I would say in the condition its in, the coin is worth possibly more than a thousand dollars...it would be worth sending it to someone like David Sears to be authenticated...something like 40 dollars for that service.
