Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 11:28 am My first impression is that it's not a real coin, perhaps something made up for the tourist trade somewhere? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 11:47 am Interesting thread Bob L. Luckily I didn't pay much for mine as it was purchased in a large lot of ancient coins. Definitely something to look out for though... Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 12:11 pm One of the places that was previously infested with people selling fake coins was Greece. However, now that the laws have become extreme for catching anyone who sells real coins, you can't find a bad coin anywhere. The outdoor malls usually have dozens of coin sellers, and if you so much as ask to see any ancient Greek, they will LITERALLY pack up their tables and leave. I only asked twice and then I didn't make that mistake again. Report this Post to the Staff
