    How did you come by them? I am asking since 4 of them at least appear to have "shelves" on the edges which can be indicative of being cast fakes, or could just be the photograph. Could you post edge pics?

    Btw all of the are ancient Greek, one histaii, one chersones, another an icthaphilic issue from Thasos, but right now I am more curious about their legitimacy. The Histaii looks good.

    At a glance, all look okay. Please provide obv/rev photos of the the INDIVIDUAL coins, as well as measurements in milimeters and grams.

    Ok. I hope I am wrong, but I will explain further. See how all 4 of the silver coins have the same "look" to them? These coins were minted from 4 separate mints over a pretty long time span. Why would they look identical? The two coppers have the same issue as well. That is why I looked closer and notice the shelves.

    Like I said, I hope I am just overly cautious.

    I hope you are right Bill, the ithyphallic issue is a fairly pricey.

    Well the Lion is Thracian (Cherronesos hemiobol) circa 480 BC -
    The ladies head is Euboia League circa 196 - 146 BC / Nymph Histiaea on ships bow -
    Not having them in hand I can not be positive that they are real.
    :yes:
