Have I been scammed?

8 berichten
Hello,

I have some doubts on the authenticity of this Roman coin solely based on the fact that I purchased it for only $20 Canadian on eBay!

I have attached some close up photos taken through a microscope.

Thank you for any comments!
Looks weird to me, but i can't say it's fake, it looks really old
Don't throw the coin away.

Does it seem authentic or is it a fake?
An off center Constantine bronze of some flavor. I can't tell because I am on my phone, but these were really common coins so the price is in range.
Addesij, The fact that a coin is roman or greek from thousands of years ago does not necessarily make it very rare and valuable, most low grade roman coins out there generally run at values under five dollars. It is always a good idea to look at the prices of past sales when you buy a coin and although am not an expert in this precise run of coins, i can tell you that it is more probable that you have been scammed by paying too much for a real , but low value coin than for a fake one.

I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!
Not simply off-centered, but this coin should more be a too small planchet.
