gregglyell New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 2:17 pm Hello I thank all of you for the help with the demetrius coin I had here last week. I sent the info to the owner and I am sure he does not want to believe it is a copy. anyway he sent me somemore that were suppossed to be handed down as an inheritance in the group. I will add them here and see what you folks know about them. As I said I am a below newbie stage with coins. (you want to know about rough diamonds then I can help you. so here are the 6 coins and I wait to hear from you when you can find the time. gregg Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 4:13 pm Hey again! I suspect that images 2 and 3 are possibly intended to be a Bactria coin of Euthydemos. I can't quite read the inscription. As with the previous one, this copy doesn't quite match the workmanship of an original: The last coin is a cast copy of a dekadrachm from Syracuse. Copies stand out easily because the originals are such exceptional quality. That, and the big casting bubbles on the surface. Edited by DVCollector 01/14/2012 4:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 5:46 pm I know next to nothing about these coins, but IMHO if the first coin is suspect, that makes all the coins from this seller suspect to me and I would stay away. The last coin posted shows signs of casting too as the surface or fabric is all wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

Until you get some more knowledge I would stick to buying from established dealers like the ones on Vcoins. Report this Post to the Staff

I only spoke for coins I'm familiar with. Authentic Syracuse and Bactrian coins are very expensive now, and should only be purchased from a trusted dealer. Report this Post to the Staff
