MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 07:52 am Just received two photos of a coin that someone is wanting to sell to me. This is way out of my field and would like opinions on it please. I personally think it looks ok but not sure. The guy is happy to let me have it for a few days to take it somewhere to have it checked out but I wouldn't know where to take something like this. It measures 10mm but he didn't give me the weight. *Update, He has brought it to me so I have it in hand now. It does indeed measure 10 mm & the weight is 1.67 grams Edited by MetDet71 02/27/2023 08:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 5:50 pm Not my area, and I could be mistaken (I don't have the time to check this), but shouldn't the Macedon AV's with AΛEΞAN below the reverse bow (and ΔPOY below the club) have Athena obverses? I thought the AV's with Heracles/lion skin headdresses for the obverses have ΦIΛIΠΠOY (Philip) reverses. If I am correct, this would be a red flag. Another would be the fact that the reverse die appears to have been cut for a larger denomination. Edited by Kamnaskires 02/27/2023 5:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
