[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 4553496, member: 111387"]No doubt they're fakes..I don't think it necessary to have an expert chime in. This novice collector can easily discern that they're copies. Looking at the reverses, the (artist)imperfections of the legends/lettering transfer to each coin. However, by themselves standing alone, the first two would make me take pause, the 3rd one could trick me as convincing. What's interesting is the wear on the 2nd. The legends (and kithara) look flattened like they've been shaved. The fabric of the 1st coin looks off. The casting pearl on the lips of the first three(not existent in the 4th) makes a good case that the 4th could be the host coin. It's akin to playing the game "Find 10 things different between these two pictures"[/QUOTE]
