Help Identifying Greek Coins
« on: August 22, 2021, 09:39:09 pm »
Hi everyone! I'm new and I need help identifying some of my ancient Greek coins. I have a picture of each coin's obverse and reverse.

Please read the rules, one of them is "one coin per thread only"  :).

But I doubt the authenticity of your coins  :(.

Hi folks,

I agree with Alta and dj. I also have severe doubts about the authenticity of these 3 coins.

These are definitely modern counterfeits
The kantharos on the reverse of the first coin is a "producer mark" of a Bulgarian forger's workshop
