I know the fakes echizento is referring to and these are not them, thankfully. These coins appear to be completely genuine.

i thought thet were fake when I first saw them aslo, I suppose they looked to good...but it seems they're just beautiful coins!

Are these you are buying? or purchased?
They are import coins that we have seen many of for sales. This is the reason we only buy now from the UK.
The coins showing are all later coins than should be of date.
The profit and time in the making is huge once the metals used and different stamping dies are made to make.
We see many thousand of so coins and because method of making is machine stamp and maker know the correct die it become very hard to see by picture but once at side of genuine coin easy to see.
There being around 90 percentage fake coinage now to the real coin it is hard job for collector to see. echizento is correct in first writing, to many of same age coin in condition that is as strucked to be good.
Hope I am making sense now, thank you.

Now I'm even more confused then normal.

Jaquet,
Are you saying that these are fakes?

Yes they are imported coinage made using a press stand. the darkening coloours you can see are added using chemically liquids. the colour can be done in a way as simple as putting a coin in a bag with a egg for tone. thank you

Jaquet has a good point to make.
The quality of the whole batch of these seems to be suspiciously 'consistent'!
It would be highly beneficial to have a few detailed pictures of these coins, edge on.

There is a very good article on the 'net published by
Tesorillo.com :
ES FALSO MI DENARIO?, (it IS copyrighted)
which gives very good information on how to identify fake ancient coins. A machine translation into English is available. Heavy going for the English reader, but well worth it.
There are about 35 pages of good material to read, but this rather lengthy exercise certainly helped my skills in the identification of fake ancient coins.

I would recommend all collectors of ancient coins to read it

They do not look right to me. I would expect to see more metal flow lines from the legends and busts. They may not be fake, but they are not a purchase I would make.
