[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2477093, member: 31620"]With respect. The Alexandria coin is from modern dies. These dies have been deemed to be modern fake dies and have been published. It is number 6 on Plate 24 in the The American Numismatic Society, Museum Notes 30 in an article called Myrina and Related Forgeries. Look at the detail of the coin and compare it with the two examples I have now provided for comparison, both of which are confirmed examples from these fake dies. Look at the reverse and note that every detail, the positioning of every letter, the positioning of devices relative to the lettering, the drapery are all identical when comparing the two reverses. The same exercise of comparison can be performed with the obverse die and the same conclusion drawn.
