I've stumbled across another coin.
It looks like "Phaselis, Lycia, 208 - 207 B.C., In the Name of Alexander the Great"

The last time I posted a coin it turned out to be fake. Is this one real? If so, how much is it worth?

Thanks,
Emily

Greek coins are not my area, but from what I can see of this coin it just doesn't look right to me. IMO it's cast with some silver plating.

The style and fabric shown in the pictures make me a little uneasy, but with this one, I would love to see the coin in hand before saying 'yea' or 'nay'.
I would love to see a macrograph of the edge in front of the nose.

Sadly it looks plated and probably a tourist copy, we would need much bigger pictures to decide for sure either way.
