I will use my 2 mpix camera next time, it might not look as good as it is. Thanks, but I think I started things on a wrong foot here with my previous posts. So now everyone think I have only fake coins. :)

I am not at home right now, all I can tell now is that the coin is not big, I can tell the diameter when I get back home. Thanks (about weight I still waiting for a scale that measure the weight properly the one I have now does not have decimals).

Aaah, It looks Greek...I think I've seen it before. Does it have a line around the edges?

Magdalena I think you should post this on the ancient forum for their opinion with an approximate weight.

It doesn't look quite right to me...a glance at the fake reports dont show anything though. The reverse seems to be too...flat. I dont do much greek stuff but someone will be along that does. I think I see a sprue. 12 oclock and 6 oclock on the photos. Check the edge - it may have a seam which would indicate its fake. Oh and  to the ancient forum! |

The style--to my eyes--appears to be a modern Bulgarian copy. But that's just my guess.

I can't find a matching fake - but I must agree with the others on this one, doesn't look right.
It looks like it might be a modern pressed copy, maybe a museum replica. There seems to be missing details between the upper hair and the laureate wreath, as well as possible signs of a casting process on 6/12 o'clock.
I really don't like to comment on authenticity as sometimes it can be a touchy subject, but I feel strongly this is not the real Mccoy.

Some of the photos seem to show a seam and nearly all the photos show evidence that the edge has been filed - this would be to hide the seam.
Its a pity - its a nice type. Is it silver?

The style and fabric look utterly modern to me.
