<p>[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2571009, member: 72818"]Like everyone else, I hope they are authentic. It's nearly impossible to be even reasonably certain about the genuine status of a coin by photos alone. The weight and size are important and actual hands on examination is always recommended. They may be reproductions that have considerable value like my New style Attic Tet from the British Museum circa 1860 or they be something else entirely. Perhaps local mementos from a trip to Greece??? From the photos the style and fabric look highly suspicious. Most of us follow the advice.... "If there is any doubt, there's no doubt". Of course, sending them off to a 'professional authenticator' like Sears is another option</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, it may be more convenient to bring them to a local ancient coin shop/dealer and ask them for their opinion.
