[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 6649510, member: 77077"]You'll get more help if you post only one coin per thread. And only one thread per day. Asking people to look at 12 coins in one thread is just too much. Usually bad fakes look pretty obvious in photographs. To be totally confident a coin is authentic is a different story. It is a lot easier to tell in hand than from a photograph. Nothing jumps out at me in any of your photos as an obvious fake, which puts you way ahead of most people who ask this question. There have been various threads posted giving hints on how to tell if a coin is fake or not. You can find them by searching or maybe somebody has them bookmarked. The site forum ancient coins and forgery network both maintain archives of fakes that you can search for matches with your coins. Good luck, John[/QUOTE]
