I know pictures arent great but any help is appreciated. Found them at an Estate Sale. Thanks, Michael.
I can't tell much from the images. Can you get better images and re-post? Just from what I can see, I think the first is a fake, but I can't be sure.
This is a coin that i found in this forum and its the same design as the one i have. So is this one legit ^ and if so what differences should i look for to determine if it is fake. It doesnt attract to a magnet as well if that helps i dont know. I cant take any more photos right now and the ones i took were honestly the best i could get unfortunately... Thanks, Michael.
Original post that had photo... https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-gaius-julius-caesar-coins.266837/ A bit more than half way down.
The first is a cast fake of the Toronto group. The style is OK because the casts were made from a genuine coin but all the fakes made that way have the same centering and the off center Antony side is a give away. See: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?pos=-2352 The other one appears to be a very low grade Alexandria tetradrachm of Nero. I may well be genuine but in that condition, value is very low. I don't know what a fair price for the fake would be since they never seem to be sold for what they are and there is no shortage of people with money who think they are getting a portrait coin of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Real ones are expensive. To have value, fakes need to be made by a famous faker of a century or five ago. Modern ones like this generally do not except to people who think they can resell it as genuine.
