[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 3368470, member: 39084"]A few suggestions/observations about this particular coin and type: 1. The coin looks generally authentic and appears to be within the normal range of size, weight, and condition for this type of coin. 2. Does the seller offer an unconditional guarantee of authenticity? If not, why not? 3. If the seller DOES offer an authenticity guarantee, and the price is within your budget, have you considered purchasing it and having it authenticated by a recognized authority? 4. I'm not overly concerned about the appearance of Vespasian's ear, but it would be worth 30 - 60 minutes of your time to search ACSEARCH for "Vespasian Judaea Capta sestertius RIC 167" and see if you can find any die matches. Assuming you have a subscription to ACSEARCH, this will also give you some idea of comparable prices for Judaea Capta in similar condition to this one. Good luck![/QUOTE]
