<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7374490, member: 26302&quot;]Sorry if you took that insultingly. I specialize in coins from this area of the world, not Greco-Bactrian per se, but more Persian, Parthian, Sogdian, Kushan, etc. However, I own a couple of dozen silver and copper Menander&#039;s. I have been looking at gold coins of his from good auctions for 20 plus years. I can tell by sight both from design, artificial flatness of flan, and other tells this is a modern reproduction. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was being real. No specialist in this area of the world would give this item more than a one second glance. That is all it should take. I was trying to forcefully show the OP he will get ripped off if he is honestly considering buying such things. I can guarantee you this is being offered NOT by a good dealer, but some fly by night place. Ancient greek gold is very expensive, and you should never risk that kind of money if you do not know what you are doing, unless it is with a firm other collectors will vouch for. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry if you are &quot;disappointed&quot; by me John. I have only been helping people here for more than a decade, who am I to have an opinion. Let us know YOUR expertise in the series and YOUR opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
