Certainly the first of the two, which copies an issue from Delphi, Phokis, is fake - and matches one in the fake reports (as do your first three coins). The last one, which possibly depicts Dionysos, is quite probably a fake too. Edited by Kamnaskires 06/27/2018 12:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
