I would advise caution, because Indo-Greek coins are heavily counterfeited. Almost all of the ones I bought turned out to be fakes. At the very least I'd get individual weights of the coins and compare these with what they should weigh. One place to find comparisons is coinindia.com.

All four look fake to me.
This is the exact reason my Indo Greek collection includes only a few coins from the most common rulers - most are fairly easy to detect, but some are made so well they could pass the scrutiny of an expert.

I have just received them and they look much better than in the picture. What do you think?   Edited by coincollector29

I agree with the others. Likely all fake. Sorry.

I would need coin in hand to tell you for sure but I personally wouldnt buy these coins as all four are very likely fake. You could weight them, measure them, and use XRF to help determine authenticity. Sorry bud - hope you didnt spend too much. If you still have time I recommend returning them ASAP. Always hold back your review on ebay until you are either happy with the coin or have your refund. Best practice. |

What is the seller's exact ID? There doesn't seem to be a flower2021.

The seller's current listings are a mix of genuine and fake. Lack of knowledge is no excuse.
