<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TTerrier, post: 2557675, member: 76835&quot;]I think I&#039;m breaking the rules here by not posting a coin but I don&#039;t have any of this type and am looking for information from members who might collect these.&nbsp; I really like the small silver Greek fractions but the EL hekte&#039;s are simply too pricey for me to acquire a reasonable size collection of those.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to have some gold in the collection and am not stuck on Greek coins but just coins that appeal to me, are within the budget and would be fun to hunt down.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fanams seem interesting as they are gold and <u>really</u> small, some with good designs.&nbsp; A few questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; These look like they could be easy to fake - if I stick to auction houses and VCoins am I likely to avoid fakes or is the market riddled with them?&nbsp; A tough question - but in this case I can only know the dealer as I won&#039;t know the coins.</p><p>2.&nbsp; The main reference appears to be a book &#039;Gold Fanams&quot; by Hans Herrli - can anyone comment on whether this is a worthwhile reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have some fanams in your collection please post!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
