A Constantine I coin,need identification

[adzakael]

Hi all
i'm a newbie here.
I have started to collect coins as my father did,except my interest is on the ancient coins.

Anyway I need to know the status of authenticity of this coin and how to know if its a forged artifact or not.

Hello adzakael,

Looks genuine to me. I wonder why someone would spend time on forgeing a so common coin, when genuine are available for a couple of bucks...

Thanks cucumber
Anyway,how much this coin is worth in open market today?

Hello adzakael,

Not a lot I'm afraid. Again it's very common, and far from pristine condition. Have a look at Vcoins, where thousands of coins are for sale at the same time, it will give you a precise idea of the market
