<p>[QUOTE="greekandromancoins, post: 2891808, member: 87990"]I have a small bag of the Euboea, Histaia tetrobol fakes which flooded the market years ago and still find their way into eBay and even reputable dealers' catalogues. When I bought them I thought they were OK despite them looking different from the known examples because Sear referred to a type that is cruder in style and I thought that was what I was buying. Turns out they are fakes which Barry P. Murphy alerted everyone to at the time. They sit in a small plastic bag together with many other small silver coins and I have not yet decided what to do with them. I cannot remember if I bought all coins together (in which case all coins, including those of different types are almost definitely fake) or separately (in which case I will need to study each coin carefully and get some help) so for now on, they all remain in the bag.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
