I really don't like the looks f the first one it looks cast. On the off chance it's real than it has severe environmental damage. I don't know about the second one, need a better picture. If these all came from the same dealer as the other fakes, I would be concerned.

Compare to the same type on Ancient coin search. Looks like a very crude attempt to copy the coin. http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2198830

Not from the same seller, but the reason I put them up for comment is because my seller has bought (not these coins) from the other seller, on one occasion that I could find.

for the Thasos tetradrachm :the seller indicates :high quality museum restrike coin gift , 10 available .So it is a restrike , a copy , but it is not marked on the coin.This kind of coin you can buy everywhere on touristic spots in Greece .
for the Thessaly#2 coin , I think Chrsmat71 is right , it is just wear .The coin Echizenti indicates is also a little bit crude for a near extremely fine coin.albert
