I wouldn't worry about that, almost all big bronzes are smoothed to an extend and looks great as is 🙂

I'd definitely be interested but would be causious. With roman antiquities im very comfortable and collect it heavily. Also do have some Anglo-saxon strap ends I collect. Where would one get such artifacts without getting burned? Feel like viking stuff gets faked quite heavily.

Leu refused to list my Julius Caesar dupondius cause it's 'suspicious'.
Victrix replied to Victrix's topic in Roman Empire
Its indeed hard to tell so ill wait for a reply of Leu. But id be surprised if this were to be a fake, never spotted any fakes at artemide before. Thanks for input 👍. -

Yes lol. They make up provenances for most of my coins saying it was purchased before 2012 when I started collecting in 2019 😂. -

It's currently still at Leu sadly. What do you mean with what we can see isn't encouraging, anything that stands out? I just dislike the fact they tell me it's suspicious but don't condemn it . Been in contact with Artemide and they say they don't see anything pointing it being a fake. I guess they'd refund me if it were to be, just quite annoyed with the situation 😛 . -
Bought this coin a while ago on Artemide auction with a pedigree from the 1800's. Decided to consign it with leu and shipped it out. Low and behold they tell me they won't. Does anyone else see something I don't ? To me this is a completely normal genuine coin. Quite frustrating 🙃.

Picked up a nice silvered victorinus which for once has a fresh reverse die !

Picked up these 2 lovely severan pieces at Artemide today. Really like the busts of both.

@red_spork Could you shed some more light onto this denarius if you have the time? Bought it as anonymous but from what I can tell it's Sicily aswell staff series. Cheers!
-
Thank you very much for the info & insight!

The style doesnt look like the work of the Rome mint to me. Looks like some magna graecian city states style but I might be wrong. Thanks 🙂

Bought some very bottom of the barrel ancients in a lot today. There's something I like about them being so worn,these surely circulated well over a century. One is is a trajan drachm and one of the antony denarii is of Legio Lybicae. Fun for 28 euro 😄

Manage to get a minty Gallienus co-rule with Valerian for cheap. Rome mint, struck AD 255-256
-
As far as I can tell it's Iron, it might be mixed with something as in the middle section you seem some red-ish patina almost.
-
It likely is of Celtic or Roman origin. But haven’t gotten a concrete ID yet.

I got these coins a while back and decided I wanted them to keep as found condition. But I’d like and try to clean them up as there seems to be some solid silvering left under it. Any tips ? 🙂
