<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 12502090, member: 101013&quot;]The fact that you pulled this coin, a denarius of Otho of lovely style, out of the ground is truly amazing! </p><p>I think it pays of to have an expert take a look at it. If you are based in the UK or Europe, there are quite a few around. Whether you want to keep it or sell it, an original denarius of Otho in this quality is worth quite a few pounds. </p><p>You might want to check out the fake coin reports on forumancientcoins.com, before deciding to do that. And search for otho. (somehow the website doesn&#039;t work on my computer at the moment...) </p><p>The weight is ok, RIC states the weight should be 3.25 - 3.5 gr. But if you look at acsearch.info you can see the weight is all over the place. Mine is 2.68 gr.... </p><p>On acsearch.info you can also take a look at other sold examples, to see if there&#039;s a die-match. That would also help in answering the question whether its a fake or not. (See, e.g. <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9721178" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9721178" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9721178</a>, that comes pretty close)</p><p>Now, if you want to know what its worth, you can look up sold prices of comparable examples, using acsearch and google. There&#039;s nothing more unpredictable then auction prices though, but it should give you a general picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you don&#039;t know what to do with it, you could always give it to me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (just kidding of course)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
