As Coin Update viewers know, I collect and consign ancient coins. I know telltale signs of counterfeit and novelty coins as well as authentic strikes. For instance, many ancient fakes are cast rather than struck. To cast a coin, the counterfeiter creates a mold and then pours molten metal into it. While some bronze ancients were cast, most Roman and Greek coins were struck, or hammered with an engraved die into the metal.

Before I make a decision, however, I though it would be a good idea to ask the experienced before making yet another stupid mistake.

Incitatus was the prized stallion of emperor Caligula. Very few people know that he is actually capable of full speech. He was later killed along with a group of Pandai by the Meliai. Caligula was said to have tried to elect Incitatus as part of his consul while dressing him up in senatorial purple. He also rode his horse across a bridge of boats on the bay of Baiae to prove what a roman astrologer said was wrong regarding him becoming emperor. When Caligula opened a palace at the base of Palatine Hill, Incitatus pulled his golden chariot then was led to the hors d'oeuvres table. Many years later, Incitatus was called back to life from Caligula, who became a god-emperor and formed the Triumvirate Holdings.

Just appreciate the service. Post anything you like. Maybe a Constantius Chlorus, or maybe a coin from a dealer whose attention to service you really appreciate.

Mat , Jan 22, He said the coin was a metal detector find and he had no idea what the coin was. While some bronze ancients were cast, most Roman and Greek coins were struck, or hammered with an engraved die into the metal. I had a late Roman Bronze coin that looked OK, but it broke in two. I hope to have their like one day. Not to go off topic but I'm wondering what would be the Roman coins that would be commonly faked?

It wasn't until , nine years after Federation, that Australia again created its own currency — the Australian pound. Production of half-sovereigns ceased in , followed by that of sovereigns in The value of a pre-decimal australian coin depends on several factors such as quality and wear , supply and demand, rarity, finish and more.

If you want to get a really pricey coin, you MUST go to a specialist dealer, preferably with an internationally recognised reputation. Some of the best portraits are of Philip I and II.
