Its very exciting, I love the history and art involved but at the same time I've also become a bit paranoid about some of my items being counterfeit, once I realized how common it is! I'm especially doubting some of the first items I purchased before I learned not to be buy on ebay. I was having trouble finding somebody locally to take a look at my collection, so I was really hoping some people here could help me out! I'll try not to overload you, so here's two I've kind of been questioning. A velia and rhodes stater. The thing that gets me is how smooth the edges look. The edges of all my other coins have cracks and imperfections, but not these. What do you think!? Are they genuine? Much appreciated. Thanks! The Velia is 6.8 grams and the rhodes is 6.55g. Not sure if its allowed to share the seller name here?? I didn't see it in rules, so it was everlastingcoins on ebay.
