echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/11/2017 7:06 pm to the community The coin is similar to an AR didrachm from Epeiros circa 220's BC. Would like to see what the reverse looks like. I'm not convinced that it's genuine the edge looks a little odd to me. Bob I see you just beat me to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 06/11/2017 7:19 pm @granparalph, first welcome to CCF. Second, that is an interesting piece that you have. It would be helpful if you included pics of the rev and edge of the coin.

Matt2727 Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 06/11/2017 8:16 pm Reverse pics would be helpful, but right now going off of Bob's picture it looks like the coin is fake. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 5:13 pm Thanks for the better pics, granparalph. Sadly, it's never a good thing when the shape of a supposedly ancient coin-in-hand appears to match that of a known fake... Report this Post to the Staff
granparalph New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 5:28 pm Thank you so much. I believe the original owner believed it was real. At least now I have the right information. I'm grateful for this forum. Report this Post to the Staff
