I got this today from my mother-in-law. Looks too good to be an authentic ancient coin but what say you? It is not magnetic. Thanks!

Hope she didn't pay too much for it, that owl looks like its had a few rounds with Mike Tyson

 

does the owl have a trunk like a elephant?

 

I think on the reverse is Gonzo, with his surfboard

 

I never collect ancient Greeks, and even I can see it is fake!

 

Okay okay, I’m hollering “calf rope!” Thanks!
I doubt she bought it. Probably was given to her as some kind of promotion.

 

I'd like to say the coin on the right is not authentic, but I know it is!

 

Tommy's face looks almost as bad as the fake Athena's. I wish they would redesign the nickel ASAP.

 

. . . or at least give him a better haircut.

 

Fake.

 

Definately a lot of amateurs out there. If you want to succeed as a forger, you have to be able to make it look 100 percent authentic. The AV Ahenobarbus aureus (NFA) was a perfect fake, it fooled me.
