Yes, tourist souvenirs abound. Even if the coins were genuine, taking them out of Turkey can be difficult. Then there's US Customs, if you're...
Nice photos! Thank you for posting them. The archaic owl group looks especially interesting, apparently a hoard with a preponderance from what...
I just saw earlier tonight this interesting segment on the BBC World News about a Roman gold coin, previously thought to be fake is authentic...

Roman Republic, AR Denarius, L. Julius L.F., Caesar, Rome, 103 BC. Crawford 320-1 3.84 grams [ATTACH] Next: Athens, any period.
