Rebound trihemiobol

I lost 3/4 at CNG this morning but ended up near a shop I don't get to very often and picked this up on the rebound. I don't know the series or if they're commonly faked. Anybody see anything wrong with it? Thanks

I don't like the look of it. Check forgerynetwork

It's a Slavey forgery

Thanks, I thought the details were too good but figured it was worth a shot.

 

I think that coin needs to be blurred out.. oh my

 

I have a small version:

ISLAND OFF THRACE THASOS
AR Trihemiobol
OBVERSE: Satyr running left in three-quarter view, holding kylix
REVERSE: ΘΑΣ − ΙΩΝ Amphora
Struck at Thasos, 411-350BC
0.69g, 12 mm
SNGCop 1030

 

It's no big deal, just return it. It happens to all of us. I recently had to tell an Alexander drachm imposter to pack its bags and get the hell out.

However, we should not conflate good detail with forgeries. There is an abundance of authentic coins with spectacular detail.

 

I know you're right, I just had a gut feeling, no pun intended, that the abs were just a bit over the top.
