Hi guys, what do you think?
Are you kidding us ? :D That photos are terrible. It think it is FAUSTINA, wife of Marcus Aurelius.
It is hard to say if it is fake or not, I had roman denarius which look simmilar and it is 100% genuine, 'cause I have found it on field.

​Hi guys, what do you think?

​I may be wrong, but it looks good. (could easily be one of a series of incredibly good modern fakes coming out of china Spain and Eastern Europe though) and I'm not an expert.Better pictures required, and if you want to make real sure, post it on the Italian website "lamoneta" they have the best in the business looking there.

n.b. with these later roman coins plated DOES NOT EQUAL fake. They're called fourrees.

​thanks for the reply, are they that bad even when clicking on the pics?
To me its just looked to ‘clean’ i might be wrong though
Thanks
Closer pics.

​Looks good, but TBH it really looks like you just zoomed in on and cropped the previous pictures... (Which doesn't really help ) we need horizontal fields to see tiny die details to check for modern fakes. That being said, it looks good. The coin is definitely struck.

Thanks, for your answers. I will take more pics once i’m home. The seller is very trusted and has over 950 positive reviews and just one terrible which referred to the courier service.
He states that its 100 % authentic. I will post more pics from more angles !

Regards
Good morning,

​but doesn’t this look too clean? Or is it me just thinking too much...
Photos are good now ;) But as I said, it is hard to say with 100 % accuracy if it is genuine or fake. But I tend to that it is genuine.
Hi,
what are weight and diameter of your coin?

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
Looks indeed very clean.
