<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 7863620, member: 74282&quot;]Top left is Lysimachus, appears to be a forgery. Next is an Athenian owl, likely forgery based on the surfaces. I wouldn&#039;t buy it. Next is a tetradrachm of Nero, a well-known forgery. I&#039;m not sure what the last coin in the first row is, nor am I exactly sure what the first coin in the next row is supposed to be(Athenian didrachm?) but overall I&#039;m not confident it is authentic because it&#039;s overall fabric looks modern to my eye. The two after that are modern replicas of &quot;widow&#039;s mite&quot; prutahs. On the last row, two modern replicas of Judaean shekels.</p><p><br /></p><p>The smart thing to do is not to buy any ancients from any dealer whose ancients inventory looks like this unless you are certain you know enough to determine whether or not the coins are genuine[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
