[QUOTE="Timur, post: 2692825, member: 86372"]Hello everyone! My name is Timur. I am new to this forum and I am a newbie to numismatics, so I am pretty happy to become a member of this community :) As my first question I wanted to ask for help regarding the three coins I have attached. The overall question is - are they authentic by the looks? The first one I couldn't identify at all. I looked through every catalog online and hardcopy I have - couldn't identify it's mint. It's 26.7mm and 17.1 gr [ATTACH=full]604420[/ATTACH] The second one - I think it's 336-323 BC AR Tetradrachm with thunderbolt in left field, DI beneath chair, but not sure. It's 26mm and 16.98 gr [ATTACH=full]604421[/ATTACH] And the third one I was able to identify as Mesembria mint. Struck 250-175 BC. It looks authentic to me, but I really need a professional point of view. It's 28mm and 16.49 gr [ATTACH=full]604422[/ATTACH] Thanks a lot in advance, Timur.[/QUOTE]
