They all have that soft cast look about them.

The broad and upturned rims give them away as cast copies. The top one is a copy of the famous Baalbek Temple coin of Philip I. Jwharper posted a similar replica in this thread. The second is a replica of a "city-founding" coin from Antioch-in-Pisidia. The example on wildwinds is a very close match - too close, methinks. I wonder if the Wildwinds example is also a fake. The third is a replica of a coin from Ptolemaic Egypt. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
