Julian II coin...authenticity questioned
« on: November 06, 2014, 02:36:51 PM »
Today a customer contacted me about returning a coin, to which I, of course, said yes. He said he looked at it under a microscope and it did not look right. Below is the coin in question. I don't have any doubts, but decided to post it anyway.
