There seem to be more fakes from that period on the market at present. A South German auction house has just withdrawn some of them which had been sold earlier at another North German auction house being notorious for selling fake rare late romans (like Johannes, Marcianus, Majorianus...).

Very often lots are sold "as is, no return possible". So if a buyer who thought to have made a bargain (but paid too much regarding the value of the other coins) later discovers that the AF is a fake he won´t get back his money..

Hi all,
I took these images of some recent purchases hoping that searching would keep me occupied for a two hour train journey but three hours later I'm none the wiser. Any help in identifying would be amazing and appreciated.
I know the small drachm is of Ptolemy I.
I believe the first tetradrachm with the aplustre in the left field may be Corinth mint of Demetrios I.
The second has me stumped - both the monogram and the symbol beneath the throne.
I have a digital copy of Price but I feel like lots of practice is needed with it to become proficient, if anyone has any tips, they would also be appreciated but I know these coins are a huge and complex subject in themselves.

Could more likely be Edward IV York mint than Richard III. It may be worth looking at Irish issues of Edward IV due to the extensive clipping. In short, I don't know but I'm inclined to think Edward IV York mint.

Kitov, you are absolutely right! With "my" Mustafa I am on the wrong side of the coin, in the text:"Sultan of the two lands and .. the two seas ... " Good that there are at least two to keep an eye open ! Nooo . . . here it was only one!
