Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 4:06 pm Well, I cant say much for authenticity, but I would say at least 2 and 3 are alright judging just by appearance and not by design as I am not well versed in provinincials and greek silver. First is greek, 2nd is roman provinicial, 3rd is greek and 4th is byzantine. But I have never seen a byzantine like it. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3447 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 4:36 pm Second one is 'provincial of Philip II and looks 'good' Third one I believe is a drachm of Dyrrachium (Durres Albania) and again looks 'good' Forth is Byzantine and appears to be silver .... I hesitate to give an opinion on it. Silver Byzantines are not common and I know little about them. The first one definitely looks to be Greek with a Griffon (Sicyon ?) Difficult to determine whether it is real. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 4:37 pm I'm busy trying to ID no 2 - As Ben says its a Provincial Roman. Not had any luck so far I would also agree that most of these look real to me. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 4:54 pm The Byzantine coin is an AR (silver) Miliaresion of the emper Michael VII, 1071-1078 and I believe is Sear # 1874. This coin has some nice value. Report this Post to the Staff
Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 5:47 pm #1... is probably Thrace, Abdera.. Apollo and Griffin but I haven't found exact one yet. Maybe it's here... http://www.acsearch.info/search.htm...=&c=&a=&l=#0 #3.. I'm pretty sure is Apollonia, Illyria, Greece, c. 200 - 80 B.C. http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=224869 Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 03/05/2013 08:49 am I've had real trouble fully IDing coin number 2. FVRIVS is correct that it is Philip but I'm not 100% sure if its I or II, its very probable its II. The obverse legend is: M IOVΛ ФΙΛΙΠΠΟC K The reverse could be blundered I think it says: AGammaKVPANΩN but it should read ANKVPANΩN It was minted in Phrygia Ankyra and the reverse shows Tyche holding a rudder and cornucopia. I'm guessing its quite rare but have no idea of value. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/06/2013 3:17 pm Not to nitpick, but if you can find a way to host larger pictures of each coin--it would help greatly. The CCF forums host their own image optimizer, which should help you post larger photos of each coin. Report this Post to the Staff
