<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3245903, member: 56859&quot;]I agree with Parthicus.&nbsp; The out-of-focus images are almost useless.&nbsp; We need better pictures.&nbsp; However, even with the burry images the obverse looks suspiciously like this and other fakes shown in <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=search&amp;cat=0&amp;pos=11" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/displayimage.php?album=search&amp;cat=0&amp;pos=11" rel="nofollow">Forum Ancient Coin&#039;s fakes gallery</a>:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/fakes/albums/userpics/10618/normal_melqarth.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Betting that it is fake would not win anyone much money.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t recall ever seeing one that <i>wasn&#039;t</i> fake when posted by a newcomer asking if his or her Tyrian shekel was authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">Edited to add cropped and joined images of the OP&#039;s coin.&nbsp; It is a match to the cast fake shown above.&nbsp; Better images are not going to change the verdict.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]850757[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
