<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2956467, member: 74282&quot;]The coins don&#039;t wear once put in the ground and metal is fairly stable in the right conditions so there&#039;s no reason that an old coin must look horrible. A coin placed in a sealed hoard buried shortly after minting can look similar to the day it was minted if properly cleaned right and if the soil conditions are right (i.e. not too acidic and little exposure to modern fertilizers and other chemicals). This coin looks probably authentic to me and there are plenty of coins 2000 years old or more that are similar or better condition as this one. Take a look at some of the other threads on the ancients forum, members post beautiful coins every single day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
