Just a great addition to your ANCIENT coins collection.
With this tutorial you have largely enough to progress and check if a coin is a modern fake. I advise you to read the whole of the article that is complete. Finally, the link attached below, I am giving you a list of points to look at first:
- the weight
- the diameter
- the metal
- the edge
- the surface
These are the first elements that a collector should always look at any purchase or identification.
