    Yours is in great shape. Vcoins has them for about $500 with test cuts/wear to over a $1,000.

    I'm fairly sure its a fake. Note the casting bubbles on the obverse, and the general soapiness of the fabric. Plus, the style for the portrait of Zeus is wrong.

    Are you sure it's fake ? Because I do not think so, I may be wrong ...
