ALL digital photos exhibit “funniness”, other than uncompressed file formats that most people have never heard of. That and LIGHTING. Lighting means more differences than nearly anyone can imagine. I realize this is a 0/2 top pop coin, but there are over a hundred million of them out there. Why was this ever slabbed? It’s a nothing common coin.

That's about brazillian newbie collectors, who got engaged due to the world cup commemorative coins, and know nothing but are looking for anything to stand out in their collections, are are really unwilling to reada bit and learn.. 
Someone really "smart" found someone really dumb to pay US$200,00 for that.
P.T Barnum was right.

I agree, this is a common coin worth a few $'s at best in UNC condition. A big red flag should have gone up when the seller was implying the coin was worth $200! Who cares about the certification at that point. Walk away. 

Interesting to note that there are a few different varieties and errors for the 1998 10 centavos, including at least one major DD. Brazil is somewhat infamous for DD's on modern coinage, I have at least one Brazil DD and I think it was for this date and denomination. If I find the time to look and take pictures I'll post it. 

Indeed, our current coinage system is quite a mess. Not difficult to find error coins.

The coin Cert is 2886178-012.

Thanks, 
May I ask how you found out? I could read the bar code, but didn't know what to do next.

thanks

Sorry if at wrong place.
Saw this piece, with claims to have been sold, at an auction, for around US$200.00, but got a big red flag when who posted it refused to show the cert#, the excuse was to preserve the identity of seller/buyer, so one can verify if it's authentic.
How can One know if it's authentic without the cert#?
Thanks.

Hi,
I've got this piece but am not able to pinpoint it.

Bellow what I could figure out.

Hi, saw this one on auction but I feel that there's some red flags.
1/ looks to good
2/ no patina, verdigris or signs of age.

So, it's real or fake one?

27 mm - Severus Alexander AE Sestertius. AD 231. 22.36 gr. IMP ALEXANDER PIVS AVG, laureate head right, slight drapery on left shoulder / P M TR P X COS III PP, S-C, Sol standing facing, looking left, holding whip and raising right hand. RIC 513; Sear 7999; Cohen 415.

Hi,

I'm trying to id this coin but am having problem with metrics, as it is 25mm in diameter and the ones that I found are 24/27mm.
Is it's not fake or replica, can anyone point me the correct id?

Hello,

I would appreciate any help to identify this coin. 
1.8g, 13mmm
Was thinking as (1/2?) Dirham - "Ilkhan" Abu Sa'id type g, House of Hulagu - Mongol king – Ilkhanate, but not sure as I couldn't find it at Mitchell's catalog.
Nushirwan   H745-754 M# 1724 seem more likely?

Those are ornamental symbols. But just read the legend on the coin more carefully, and there are 2 or 3 few spelling errors on the kalima and the ruler side. Which means this is more likely to be an Anatolian Imitation.

Imitation? Not a real coin then?

What is the reason for the characters on the coin being turned in the opposite direction of the characters in the drawing? (I apologize - I don't read the language)

The first image is flipped. Will fix. Thank you
