<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 3330119, member: 77226&quot;]Hi all, </p><p>So... on a whim, I recently bought this beat-up RR anonymous denarius. In the seller&#039;s photo it looked ok... but in hand I can&#039;t quite tell if the blemishes are covering a porous coin (indicating a cast) or if it&#039;s just been abused.</p><p><br /></p><p>The edges look good but there are so many scratches... if there was a casing seam, It may be obscured.</p><p><br /></p><p>I usually don&#039;t gamble on questionable coins... but every now and then, I get bored. Luckily, It wasn&#039;t expensive. So either I have a placeholder giving me buyer&#039;s remorse or I have a return to make. If authentic... I guess I&#039;m happy with it as a placeholder for now as I don&#039;t have one of these and don&#039;t see myself buying a nice one in the near future.</p><p><br /></p><p>The weight&#039;s good at 3.65g.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my questions for the group are...&#039;</p><ol> <li>What do you think? Beat-up but authentic or beat-up cast to look authentic?</li> <li>I&#039;m having a bit of trouble getting attributing it.... I&#039;ve been pouring over the following page: <a href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/" rel="nofollow">http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/</a> I&#039;m hoping one of our RR experts can walk me through the minor details in getting an exact attribution for Anonymous denarii.</li> </ol><p>And if you&#039;re just here to pile on... let&#039;s see your anonymous denarii!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]882329[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]882331[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
