<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 112423, member: 3565&quot;]Coinkids,</p><p>There is really no good way to tell reproductions from fakes to the untrained eye.The best bet is to buy from a reputable dealer like the ones we listed.Also,I don&#039;t have any repros along with the real thing but here are photos of a couple of mine.The first is from the Isle of Rhodes in Greece with the sun god Helios on the front and a rose (pun on the name Rhodes) plus RO for Rhodes on the reverse.It is from about 387-304 BC.The second is from the Aitolian region of Greece from about 279-168 BC and has the head of a water goddess in a strange hat on front and a charging Kalydoinian Boaron the reverse along with the Greek letters AITO-AON for the state.Look at the toning and wear compared with the pics I posted earlier.Also,most of these coins are dug out of the ground and will show some pitting on the fields around the images.</p><p>The picture next to my name is a large silver coin from greece as well with Hercules(Herakles) on the front.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
