Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 8:25 pm Fake. Very, very fake. Of laughable style and poor manufacture. I say "laughable" especially for the reverse of the Antimachos - with Poseidon's feet aiming in opposite directions. Genuine issues from Antimachos and Agathokles (I believe the bottom coin replicates an extremely rare Agathokles commemorative) are of the finest Greek style. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 8:37 pm Cast fakes, probably silver plated. I have quite a large 'black' collection of ancient coins, and these would rank with the least deceiving of any in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
