<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EcoEstate, post: 2603955, member: 84190&quot;]I picked up these 2 coins at an estate sale and I&#039;m trying to identify them and find out if they are authentic or reproductions. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what I think I have figured out about them so far:</p><p><br /></p><p>One has the head of Herakles on one side, and Zues seated with an eagle in one hand and a septer in the other. Under the eagle there appears to be a bat and a M and underneath the throne there is what appears to be a crown.</p><p><br /></p><p>one is a silver stater coin from Phaistos from what I have found online. Looks like it is Talos on one side and a cretan bull on the other side. It weighs 10.5 grams with the bezel.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am planning on taking them to tested by XRF , does anyone know what the alloy breakdown should be if it is authentic??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
