<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 24549570, member: 118540&quot;]Hello [USER=146559]@JenM[/USER]. Welcome to the CoinTalk ancients forum.</p><p>I&#039;m not an expert in Corinth silver staters. However, I think that, there are probably some experts on such coins, on CoinTalk. The experts will probably provide their opinion, eventually, although it may take a few days. One thing you can do, is to go to the following web site, and do some searches.</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/</a></p><p>For example, the following search : corinth stater pegasus</p><p>If I remember, on the above web site, if you want to see the large photos of the coins, then you have to sign up, but it&#039;s free. If I remember correctly, you just have to provide your email address, and choose a password. If you want to see the hammer prices, then you have to pay money. I use the above web site, more than any other, when I want to try to authenticate an ancient coin. I believe that, one of the best ways to authenticate an ancient coin, is to compare the coin, to photos of other coins of the same type, which have sold at auctions, which is what the above web site allows you to do. If you can find examples of coins, in which the design/details of the coin look like your coin, then that&#039;s a good sign.</p><p>Sometimes, one can tell if an ancient coin is fake, by looking for things such as circular pimples, or circular holes, which are often caused by bubbles of air, during the casting of authentic coins to create fake coins. Also, if the edges of the design/devices are soft and not sharp, then that is often a sign of a cast fake. I&#039;m not very good at analyzing such signs, but some ancient collectors seem to be good at it. Of course, some ancient coins were cast, not struck. However, from my limited knowledge of your coin type, I am pretty sure that your coin type was struck.</p><p>EDIT : Your coin seems to have a round pimple, above the head. Also, your coin has a round raised area, to the left of the head. Those may be bad signs. However, I&#039;m not an expert, in analyzing such things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
