echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 2:31 pm Very nice coin, but not from Alexandria. It's from Koinon in Bithynia. AVT KAIC TRAI ADPIANOC CEB. KOI-NON in field, BEITYNIAC under temple. SNG COP 325. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 3:46 pm I am not sure about the authenticity of this coin. Compared to these authentic examples the style looks wrong and the Greek letters are mushy and modern looking. These are attributed as SNG #324 and #327. I am not 100% sure of this, but it raised my suspicions. http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...isplay_media http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...isplay_media Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 7:03 pm I'd have to agree with Paul B - The sans-serif lettering is a giveaway that this is not a genuine ancient coin. 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
