Hello all. Yesterday, I went to an antiques store and was looking for old coins, and I found a set that I bought. But I wasn't comfortable with it because I thought it might be fake. Some of them I see for the first time. It’s 5 coins I know 1 of them number 3 it’s for Mysia, KYZIKOS Can u help me to I’d the coin plz The weigh and dimensions for all coin here: Coine number 1: ( 1.1g- 12.8mm) Coine number 2: ( 1.9g- 12.5mm) Coine number 3: ( 0.8- 10.5mm) Coine number 4: ( 2.2g- 16.4mm) Coine number 5: ( 1.7g- 16.1mm) Thank u so much
The weights are 'off' on many of these. 1. Baktria, Greco-Baktrian Kingdom. AR Obol. -- Eukratides/Caps of Dioskouroi 2. Islands off Thrace, Thasos. AR Drachm. -- Dionysos/Herakles (Looks soapy. May be cast.) 3. Mysia, Kyzikos. AR Obol. -- Lion/Boar 4. India, Hindu Shahi dynasty of Kabul. AR Jital. -- Zebu(Bull)/Horseman 5. Baktria, Greco-Baktrian Kingdom. AR Drachm. -- Menander/Athena
#2 definitely looks cast to me. #1 and #5 also look suspect. IMHO, if one is a fake, they would all be suspect... personally, I wouldn't touch any of them. Look elsewhere...
