[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 6386830, member: 80952"]It is silver. But for some modern fakes this is irrelevant as all of them are silver and they are struck using archaic techniques. There is an entire industry of modern fakes. The discussion was here [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-suspicious-apollonia-drachm.372426/[/URL] In the meantime I have discussed with other people and the conclusion was that there is nothing certain. This is of course better than knowing for sure it is just a fake but..... I prefer sticking to areas I know better as this subject is very complex and I saw very experienced collectors (I have 6 months of ancient coins experience) stating that they simply avoid this type of coins, preferred by the fakes industry. But let's get back to oldies but goldies :)[/QUOTE]
