    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...

    I think coin 3, and 4 are authentic, however the rest of them look cast fakes.
