<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3308471, member: 26302"]My understanding of Pharaonic times and coins is now we understand they used Athenian coins extensively. At first, they were treated as bullion, (chopped up, etc). However, near the end they indeed strike local versions of Athenian tets and now see some attributed as such. Don't ask me the diagnostic details. However, if someone now wants a "Pharoah coin" they can buy attributed, Egyptian minted, Athenian tets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER], yeah I see that dealer pimping these with the really old attribution as well. He also listed the Cyprus pieces, (very disputably Cleo VII), simply as Cleo VII without comment how most disagree, as well as sells fakes from Bulgaria, (disclosed but still). All of this has made me disinterested in his auctions anymore really.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
