Phil FK Posted December 18, 2012 Author Posted December 18, 2012 Wow. Thanks for the rapid reply guys.And the news I've got a Roman coin.-Phil Quote
MrDannyDoodah Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Wow. Thanks for the rapid reply guys.And the news I've got a Roman coin.-PhilAs a word of caution I can't help recalling that when I visited the corinium museum in Cirencester as a child they sold tons of replica roman coins, so could it be you have somehow acquired one of these replicas rather than a genuine one. Of course it could be a genuine one, in which case just ignore me, but I think it's worth bearing in mind. Quote

When were you there?It's very unlikely to be a replica, being so worn. Replicas are generally in reasonably high grade otherwise no-one would want them. Quote
