skridlov New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 04/22/2011 12:54 pm I have inherited a few coins from my late father. Even knowing nothing I realise that most of them are commemorative, recent, and not of any great value, however there are two which look interesting. I would appreciate an identification if anyone would be kind enough to offer suggestions. Roy Oh dear, the image dialog comes up with this: Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0411' Name redefined /includes/footer-rss_inc.asp, line 14 Class strSellerRss ------^ So I'm unable to post the jpg.

Sap Moderator Australia 16904 Posts	Posted 04/22/2011 7:31 pm Hello and welcome. Glad you could get the pics to work. Unfortunately, I'm fairly certain neither of these are genuine coins. The one on the left claims to be a Kushan Empire "Soter Megas" bronze coin, while the one on the right resembles a Parthian Empire silver drachm. However, both have the fuzzy details and upturned rim typical of cast fakes. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
skridlov New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 04/23/2011 06:18 am Thank you. I hadn't imagined any great value there, but neither had I considered fakery... naive, of course and typical of a field where one has absolutely no expertise whatsoever! Roy Report this Post to the Staff
