<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Claudius 11, post: 4399083, member: 111062&quot;]Surprised no one has mentioned the word plastic that`s what i really think it is i can picture the wee boy in Athens back street with his small roadside stall selling these to tourists, you can`t visit Athens and come back with nothing when i was there i came back with bronzes and ceramics which were sold as copies of artifacts held in the museum at that time i never collected coins but that was a long time ago and i suspected it was copied from a museum piece. What Broucheion says i think is really the answer (never knew that) so after all that lets PRETEND it is a real coin and to that end i bought this book</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1105920[/ATTACH] </p><p>in this book it has a lot of info won`t make me an expert but it helps a lot. Most of the pages have photos of coins which i thought were life size but they are not one page shows a DIDRACHM the next page shows a Pentadrachm the same size would be nice if someone posted the sizes of denominations it also tells how to read Greek coins ( as well as Roman) and in this case starting from the top left it reads MYIT the book does give locations of towns with dates and there is towns mentioned starting with MY but not the one quoted so you see i still have a lot to learn. Regarding fake it`s only fake if you think it is a real coin if you really read what Broucheion has posted there may not be many out there and in that case i will treat this as a rarity. Any more info i would love to hear it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
