<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4582877, member: 72790"]Thanks. I took some pix of just this coin by itself. I will post them in a few minutes. I want to know what to look for to dertmine the authenticity of these coins.[ATTACH=full]1134965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1134966[/ATTACH] Do the larger images make any difference? I do see the garlanded pole holding up the labarum. I assume the poles are normally smooth? The mintmark seems a little mushy but I would not have picked that up. I must admit that smooth fields are attractive to me so I would not have been aware that they could be too smooth. By the way, the weight is 3.35 grams, if that matters any, now. One last point, The die matches. What should I look for in the die matches you provided. I did not see any from Coin Forums fakes but I may have missed some. By the way I thought my coins was of Constantius II. Is Constans the same the same emperor? Also, I cannot find anything on the net about the Smederovo hoard that includes any coins of Constantius. Further help finding that appreciated.Thanks again[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
