tevlon Valued Member Canada 114 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 5:18 pm The inscription would appear to be an Alexander coin. I've been searching like crazy. The only coins with Athena and Nike are gold. Has anyone seen a silver coin with this design? Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

tevlon Valued Member Canada 114 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 6:54 pm So what do you think? Ancient fake? New fake? Try to return it? Or one of a kind once in a lifetime find that just made me a million? (Please say the last one :)) Report this Post to the Staff
BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 6:57 pm I recently saw The gold version of this, and was wondering if anyone knows how to authenticate it. I should be able to get it for $1800. But I am concerned that it is not real. What steps can I take to ensure that I don't get burned? Also, does $1800 seem like a good price provided that the condition is good Report this Post to the Staff

tevlon Valued Member Canada 114 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 7:43 pm Close or slightly less than a Canadian dime and about 3.2 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 8:29 pm That would make it a drachm, But I don't know of any drachms in this style. I'd say a modern fake. Report this Post to the Staff
tevlon Valued Member Canada 114 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 8:34 pm Thank you. It shouldn't be a problem. I have purchased a bunch of coins from him that I've show to the forum and or two different coins stores that know about ancients and they have all been legit so far. I am assuming it was a mistake on his part and not a betrayal. Thanks for the help. I am going to post a few more soon that I haven't checked yet. Report this Post to the Staff
