Hi I know that this isn't really a coin but I couldn't think of another category to put it in. so I found a seller selling these arrowheads online he claims that they are Greek/Scythian arrowheads from 500-200BC. I would just like to know if this is true. Thanks for any help.
Totty: yes, these are arrowheads, and quite possibly genuinely ancient...specifically, they are trilobate, socketed, solid (meaning no barbs), bronze arrowheads. Trilobate arrowheads, which were introduced as far back as 750 BC, were used by many ancient cultures, but usually they were longer than these, and either barbed or tapered back toward the socket (more profiled like long diamond-shapes rather than short triangles like these).
While attributing trilobates to specific cultures can be challenging, I have seen very similar-looking arrowheads listed as Scythian before. Personally I believe the seller's attribution.
