[QUOTE="pprp, post: 4553361, member: 94602"]I just noticed for sale (or recently sold) a few tetradrachms from Olynthos which are most probably fake. Coin 1: Reported weight close to 17g which is alarming by itself. Note the scratch on Apollo's neck.[ATTACH=full]1127537[/ATTACH] Coin 2: Reported weight around 14g, the scratch appears again. [ATTACH=full]1127539[/ATTACH] Coin 3: Reported weight close to 17g. There are even traces of overstriking (can't tell the undertype). The scratch is there.[ATTACH=full]1127540[/ATTACH] Coin 4: Reported weight around 14g. Again the same scratch is there. I think it might be the parent of the others. [ATTACH=full]1127541[/ATTACH] I kindly ask [USER=79368]@Barry Murphy[/USER] for his opinion (with many thanks in advance).[/QUOTE]
