<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2171385, member: 19463"]While I have lost all interest in obtaining any more of this type, my understanding of the question would make the Agora coin fake. I do not recall Mat's coin but it does not have the large balls in the hair that I consider a sign to be questioned so I'm surprised and sorry that I pronounced it bad. I still don't like the face but that doesn't mean it is modern. I don't know how I feel about demanding refund on an auction before the fake status is confirmed (preferably by Barry Murphy) but I do know that I would not bid on one of these coins in a sale that was not being run by Barry. I have little enough interest in coin of the region that I tend just to wait for all this to be studied and known more generally in the trade among dealer of reasonable ability. I do not see us there yet. I have one which I believe to be good but I would not sell it to someone without a complete disclaimer and understanding of the problem. There are many styles of these. Which ones are ancient???</p><p>[ATTACH=full]419323[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
