A match?I SLANDS off THRACE, Thasos. AR Stater

Saw this up for auction on Ebay, didn't look right to me so I checked the fake reports. Think I found a match, if we reach a consensus, I will add to the reports.

I agree.  The top coin seems to me to be a cast.

The top coin is a cast already in the fake coin reports. The bottom coin may be another cast or it may be the genuine original that was used to make the cast. I cannot condemn the second coin.

Joe,  I didn't even think of that. It could be the host and now looking at the deposits on the reverse - they look kind of convincing.  ???
