KoRnholio Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Looks real to me. Grade: Very Fine. Constantine or someone in his family. That's all I know when it comes to IDing these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonard Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 thanks so you think its real, im not sure but maby it was cleaned with chemical materials because i can see a very small amount of the original metal like it was polished and some of the metal appeared on the surface of the coin. bytheway i bought it from timeline originals.... idont trust them in 100% that they really sell only genuine coins even though they say so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 It's not uncommon to encounter 4th century Roman bronze coins that have been cleaned by a variety of methods, and/or coated in wax, lacquer, or other coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
