<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4029481, member: 72790"]I assume this coin is an As. The edges look real but the surfaces of the rest of the coin look noticeably different in tone and smoothness. What kind of a guarantee is the seller offering? One thing I have discovered is that if you have doubts now about buying the coin you will have those nagging doubts about it for the rest of your life. If you send it away for authentication and it comes back unfavorably what will you do? Better yet, what will the seller do? Who pays that authentication fee? I make no claim to be an expert in authenticating ancients (and I have been snookered several times myself) especially from just an image off a screen. Most of us need to have such coins in hand to make an accurate determination or deal only with dealers we know quite well and whose return policy is favorable to the buyer. If you do purchase the coin and send it out for authentication would you please tell us what the result was?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
