skyspot Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Hi to everyone! I bought from Ebay a coin, Tiberius tribute penny. The seller has 100% positive feedbacks and are member from 2008. The coin: 18 mm, and 3.57 grams I search on internet, the "tribute penny" can be clasified in 6 groups. So, if it is real, please , in wich group can be clasified this? Thank you very much!

skyspot Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 That coin is at the best, high grade. What i bought seems to have a lot of wear. I search for a modern copy, or forged, molded, but cannot find something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Suggest you send it to NGC for authentication, if you have doubts. There are simply too many fakes to sort it out from a couple of photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
