Julius Caesar Denarius - Genuine or Not?

C0inCollect0r

Hi folks,

I purchased this coin from a seemingly reputable dealer who guarantees authenticity and even offers to pay for certification fees if a coin is professionally judged to be counterfeit. This gave me considerable confidence in purchasing this coin. I received it today though and am somewhat concerned because the weight is only 3.2 grams, which is considerably lighter than any of these I have ever seen before (most I have seen range from 3.5-4.1 grams). That being said, the coin has some surface corrosion which may be responsible for the light weight. I am just hoping to get opinions from anyone here on whether it looks genuine to you. I know it is very difficult to determine from photos alone but any guidance would be appreciated.

"I question the authenticity" Now get the dealer to pay for the certification, problem solved.
