LargoBoater64 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 6:35 pm Hello all, I recently came into ownership of jewelry from a family member who passed away. This family member was very well off and I'm honored to have the pieces. There are two pieces in question that I would love to have more information about. Seeing if anyone can help. Thank you!

Second, from your handle and description, your first one could be a Mel Fisher creation using a cob recovered from the Atocha. Search through https://store.melfisher.com/ to see if there's anything similar. Can't help you with your ancient - sorry!

LargoBoater64 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 8:01 pm Thank you for your input on the Mel fisher. I think you are correct on that one! And thanks for the tip on the ancient coin. I will try and find the correct forum. I'm new to the site and having a hard time finding it Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 8:52 pm Your "ancient coin" is, unfortunately, a replica. It is trying to imitate a silver coin of ancient Babylon under Greek rule, but the design details are just wrong.

LargoBoater64 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 3:43 pm Thank you for all the info everyone! It's a shame to find out when a piece is a fake! Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1912 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 4:38 pm Not a shame for me because I collect them: Fakes, Frauds, Forgeries, Fantasies and seemingly authentic. It sometimes turns out that a fake I buy really is genuine. To me, that's a shame. Report this Post to the Staff
