<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Slim Pickins, post: 824078, member: 23738&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t be so quick to say that this coin is a copy. I&#039;ve seen ancient coins with more crisp detail than many modern coins. The reason being that many of them were buried in the ground by soldiers before a battle and we all know that back then it wasn&#039;t unusal for tens of thousands to die in a single battle. Now that&#039;s a lot of coins never reclaimed until modern times. So for that reason they were sometimes not in circulation long enough to wear down. The coin you see in my avatar to the left shows great detail and was minted in Antioch between 337-341 AD. It&#039;s in my personal collection and I know for a fact that it&#039;s authentic. Sometimes you just have to rely on the reputation of the seller to make a judgement call. I&#039;m not saying that it &quot;isn&#039;t&quot; a copy...only that it&#039;s not unusual to find such detail on ancients.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
