Peter99 New Member United Kingdom 25 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 10:26 am I have been advised by a British coin collector that this 'Greek' coin is a fake and if it was genuine, would be worth about $100. Would much appreciate an opinion and an approx value if that is possible. I apologise for the poor quality of the photos but is seems to be quite difficult to do better on my Canon S50. I am looking for an alternative to the JVC QX3 or 5, for these are like gold dust in the UK. Many thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
