Be patient, someone will be along to help, as I know very little about ancients. I do know that this is a heavily conterfeited coin... and a better picture would help. Good luck! __________________ Jim   10-21-2009, 08:05 AM   #4 (permalink) Foe Junior Member   Join Date: Oct 2009 Posts: 5 hey thanks for the reply Im in Turkey actually. This was found in Synnada. I did some research on this and this doesnt seem like tetra cuz it's not silver. it's either bronze or copper. so it must be some other greek coin. not sure though. Will be waiting for the replies.   10-21-2009, 09:10 AM   #5 (permalink) Ardatirion FVTVE FATVM     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha Posts: 2,666 My Mood: These are counterfeits.

Owl coins should be silver right? These are pretty bronzy... They seemed pretty fake to me too...   10-22-2009, 05:30 AM   #8 (permalink) Foe Junior Member   Join Date: Oct 2009 Posts: 5 any more comments?   10-23-2009, 11:00 AM   #9 (permalink) tcore Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Midwest Posts: 1,162 Quote: Originally Posted by Foe any more comments?

Given the bronze, poorly cast state of them, its likely that they were created for the tourist trade. __________________ My Ancient Coin Collection   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
