<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 3818813, member: 40017&quot;]I was brought this coin at the market today, unidentified and from an old family collection (allegedly). I have managed to work out it is from Syracuse and features Queen Philistis, presumed wife of Hiero II and so dates between 270 and 215 BC. It weighs 13.57g and measures about 26mm across at the longest. There is no sign of a seam around the edge or any other indication I can see to suggest it is a copy.</p><p>Questions:</p><p>Does anyone see any indication it might be a copy, or know if these are appearing amongst the fakes?</p><p>What sort of value should I tell the owner?</p><p>Thanks for any help you can give.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1016995[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
