<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 1871855, member: 44132&quot;]I&#039;m not sure what you know about Ancients, but, at least in the case of the Romans, there were tens of thousands of coins struck on a regular basis.&nbsp; Early Roman silver coins generally met content requirements.&nbsp; But like modern politics, as needs dictated, silver content fluctuated.&nbsp; I do collect some Greek coins, but I know much less about their minting capacities.&nbsp; I do know, however, in the case of Alexander coins, there are many fakes being sold.&nbsp; Some are very good and can easily fool the untrained eye (and even the trained eye at times).&nbsp; What denomination is the Alexander coin you have in mind?&nbsp; Check the weight and dimensions for that denomination.&nbsp; There will be some minor fluctuation, but generally they do&nbsp; meet certain standards.&nbsp; Same with the Augustus silver (most likely a denarius).&nbsp; If you choose, you can post the potential candidates here where some of the experts can evaluate each coin and their values.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
