<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2419983, member: 75525&quot;]The METEL PIVS looks ugly, but is not too far from coins of that issue. It could be real, or a &quot;reasonable&quot; fake. Both the obverse and reverse of this coin vary a lot. See pics from NAC and Roma below. In any case, a coin that has spend some time in jewlery is usually sold at pretty steep discounts over numismatic value. If you want a tie tack, lapel pin or other bling, go for it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]501243[/ATTACH]NAC</p><p>[ATTACH=full]501244[/ATTACH] Roma</p><p>Q. Metellus Pius Scipio AR Denarius.</p><p>Q.
