Corinth silver stater help

I meant to answer this question, but then I forgot. This means, that the coin is an example of coin type 1869, in the book "Greek Coins And Their Values" by David R. Sear. There are 2 volumes. The coin type in question, is in volume 1. Sear wrote a series of books, on ancient Greek coins, and ancient Roman coins. Volume 1 of the Greek books can be bought new on Amazon for approximately $50. Or, you can probably find it used or new, on either Amazon, or Ebay, or Vcoins.

I have it. Here are the pages of Sear "Greek Coins And Their Values" volume 1, which contain Sear 1869. I put a clear ruler on the book, in order to hold the pages flat. Your coin indeed looks similar to coin 1869. Coin 1869 is not pictured, but coin 1869 is similar to coin 1867, which is pictured, except that the pegasus is facing right.

Brilliant. Could it be possible that the photo from the fake coin website page is a legitimate photo from a book by Sear? The Pegasus is flying right in the photo and the description in your book. (Thank you for looking it up for me Sand!)
One last question…as mentioned just previously…the brighter patches on the coin are rather grey, they lack that slight warm hue silver can have…could this be in the realm of normal? I’ve looked at so many online and some look grey (almost like stainless steel)
You don’t need to answer if you’re getting fed up lol. You have been more than helpful…at this point I’m probably flogging a dead horse.

 

Here's genuine Corinthian Stater (a later type)

Rev: Helmeted head of Athena right; behind, bucranium and
Ref: N. Ravel 1064; Pegasi 382; BCD Corinth 125

 

Ha. Don't worry. I'm not getting fed up. This has been an interesting thread, for myself at least. Also, I like to help beginning ancient coin collectors, whenever I can.
I haven't looked very closely, at the photos from the fake coin web site, versus the photos in the Sear book.
What @Sulla80 said, about the "fabric" of your coin being "off", is interesting. Many experienced ancient coin collectors, seem to be able to tell that an ancient coin is fake, by looking at the "fabric" of the coin, which is the general appearance of the surface of the coin (I think that's what "fabric" means, but I could be incorrect). Indeed, the appearance of the surface of your coin, seems unusual, compared to most of the Corinth pegaus coins on ACsearch. I may be incorrect, and I'm sort of just guessing, but the surface of your coin looks sort of grainy, as if the coin were a cast fake, created using sand or clay, to cast from an authentic coin. However, this is all just guessing, on my part.
I agree with you, that your coin seems rather gray, even in the high areas where the toning has been worn off by recent handling, which perhaps should be shiny and white. But perhaps those high areas have re-toned, since the recent handling. I don't know. Perhaps your coin is a fake, made out of a combination of lead and other cheap metals or materials. However, I'm not expert enough, to know for sure.
If I were thinking about buying a Corinth pegasus coin (which I'm not, because they are usually above my budget), I would probably not buy your coin, because of the grainy appearance of the coin surface, and the raised area to the left of Athena's head, and the pimple above Athena's head, and the unusual gray appearance. I tend to shy away from any ancient coins, which look "iffy" to me, based on my limited experience.
However, all of this is just semi-educated guessing, on my part. I'm not an expert in Corinth pegasus coins. I have some ancient Greek silver coins, and I have other ancient non-Greek silver coins. However, there are many ancient coin collectors, who have many more ancient Greek silver coins, than I have, who have much more experience with ancient Greek silver coins in general, than I have. And, I'm pretty sure, that there are ancient coin collectors, who are way more familiar with Corinth pegasus coins, than I am.

 

I edited part of my previous post, to read as follows.
