Hello,

As part of my on-going obsession with cherry-picking auctions, I am needing a bit of help. I have an auction in my sights that I think could be a good snag. However, I am not expert in ancients beyond the very basics.

I wonder if someone might be able to look at some pics for me and determine the coins picture appear legit?

Sadly, I would have to email for obvious reasons.

Drop a post in here if you are keen to help out!

I ended up passing on the auction. Things were sketchy and wasn't worth the risk. Thanks again to Victor for his expertise!

Auction was/is below if anyone else wants to evaluate:

The Roman Republican is pretty beat up and I have no confidence in the Greek coins...I don't have any idea about the modern coins.

I see at most $10 in modern coins, with the Mexico peso accounting for $3.40 of that. The ancients all look like copies to me.
