Real or Fake?
Hi forumees,
I am interested in your opinions on the 'realness' of this Gold Solidus of Justinian II. Is it real or fake? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...category=35 5 Thanks |

If the weight is right the main thing I'd look for coin in hand would be to see if it was recut at all. Do you have doubts? |

Just that it seems a baragin at the price, since i have seen it sold for $500, perhaps i am just a scepticist |

I agree with Jorg Lueke it looks unlike Justin 1 more like Justin 2 to me
especially as the rev is not victory/angel but looks like seated constantinopolis not expert in Byz au Bronze is my field but looks like s345 so the price is fair to good. Stephen Falder |
