<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 25299481, member: 44106&quot;]It&#039;s a fake that&#039;s been posted on EBay for some time. Details are too mushy although the coin has been very convincingly distressed to look genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins of Taras / Tarentum are one of my main areas of collecting, and I have translated the series of Alberto D&#039;Andrea&#039;s books on Tarentine coinage into English (a fourth should be out soon). The &quot;Horsemen&quot; series of nomoi / staters is very popular and has received a lot of attention, so it&#039;s not surprising that a few fakes are starting to show up. Unfortunately, genuine specimens remain expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
