    Old coin....Fake?

    I suspect this is a fake because of the seam on the edge, but maybe not. Real or fake...what is the coin?

    I figured it was, but it never hurts to check. Thanks again, CRU.

    Im no expert on Ancients but that is a classic case of a casting seam. Is it silver?
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    I highly doubt it being its a copy. It don't have that silver ring to it when you drop it on the table.
