Real or Fake?

I got this last week, it weighs 2.9 grams, does anyone know if it is authentic? and if it does appear to be authentic, is it worth anything? Thanks

While I do not see anything suspicious, I should point out that these coins are widely faked. I am absolutely no expert, but, if is proves to be authentic, the value should be between $35 and $50. Here is one I got two years ago for $43 shipped:

ILLYRIA AR Drachm
OBVERSE: MENISKOS, cow & calf, Nike flying above with wreath, thunderbolt in ex
REVERSE: DYR KAL LW NOS around double stellate pattern Dyrrachium 70-60 BC
3.22g, 17mm
Ceka 322

 

Coin of the op seems to be a fourrée (plated ?).

 

Now that you mention it Batman, it does look like a fouree. How have you been Batman? Haven't seen you around much lately.

 

Hey Bing, just some momentary inconveniences

Don't worry, I'll be back

 

Ahahaha, Dionysos ... geeesh, I'm pretty sure that you, yourself (Batman!!) could defeat "The Terminator!!"

Ahhhhh, ummm ... well, on a good day, anyway!!

You rock, my friend!! (I love ya, brother)

 

I'll be watching for ya.

 

I agree that appears to be a fourée. I collect such pieces, but never at a premium. I've collected a handful of fourées and AE denarii and barbarous coins, but only the ones that have been sitting on dealers' shelves until they get marked down to almost nothing because nobody wants them. I'd be willing to pay maybe $25 for that coin, but keep in mind that I'm a cheapskate. Someone else might pay more.
