<p>[QUOTE=&quot;armoblog, post: 734540, member: 21500&quot;]Thank you!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It seems overwhelming for a newbie to tell fake from real and I suppose the dealers in ancient coins capitalize on this fact. Then again, one wouldn&#039;t go around buy anything else of supposed authenticity on the street somewhere, so coins should be no different.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coins I posted belong to my girlfriend&#039;s family in the M.E. and I had serious doubts about their provenance when they said &quot;it&#039;s been in the family for who knows how long.&quot; My guess, as yours, is that they were peddled these coins, they took it, and now they&#039;re junk! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If anyone can add what other characteristics of these coins give them away as fakes (apart from not being silver and their apparent quality), please do so. I am very interested! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
