ALL are modern fantasy pieces; copying very high end silver Greek coinage. The attribution for the coins your pieces are copying are as follows; in order of appearance: SICILY, Entella. Punic issues. Circa 320/15-300 BC. AR Tetradrachm. Arethusa facing left, surrounded by 4 dolphins / (probably head of a horse, but hard to tell with only the obverse shown. Could possibly be a different Sicilian w/ charioteer on the back.) PTOLEMAIC KINGS of EGYPT. Arsinoe II, wife of Ptolemy II. Died 270 BC. AR Dekadrachm. Veiled head of the deified Arsinoe right with ram’s horn / (probably double cornucopiae; but it isn't pictured.) MACEDON, Amphipolis. 364/3 BC. AR Tetradrach, Apollo 3/4 facing / Torch, surrounded by a square legend "AMΦIΠOΛITΩN" which means from Amphipolis. MACEDON, Chalkidian League. 370-360 BC. AR Tetradrachm, Apollo Facing left / lyre. Surrounded by legend, "XAΛKIΔEΩN" which means from Chalkidia. Makes for some fun jewelry and conversation pieces. Search some of the bold terms above, here, to get an idea of what authentic pieces look like and what price they auction at. -Michael
Michael, what is the giveaway that the MACEDON, Amphipolis and Chalkidian League are copys? the other one is obvious now that u pointed it out
All have surfaces divulging that they are silver plated. In some areas, the underlying bronze is showing through where the silver plate has worn-off.
If I don't know the value of something that I'm selling on eBay, I'll auction it starting at $.99 and let the market tell me what it's worth. If you do list it, make sure you clearly state that the coins are imitations. If you don't, I will personally sneak into your bedroom while you are sleeping and fill both your slippers with grade jelly.
lol, but i like grape jelly,.............oops u said grade .......yikes i don't start auctions at $.99 it is not worth my time if it sells for that i would just keep it, there is value in the 14k gold that holds the 2 coin pin but i would rather not destroy the pin for the gold.
