i hope that they are real as well, but i would not want to buy them and then hope they are real....for fear they may not be.

Good match of one side trader. I also find one side of the first Greek coin, pictured here in silver (Zeus sitting, holding eagle) but I cant match the other side. If the front and backs dont match, I would think fantasy coins. But I am only guessing. I hope someone with more knowlege of ancients can help.


They all appear to be in a shiny condition, as if recently lost. Any corrosion is not apparent in your pictures, Dan.

Was there any reason why these were all so well preserved? Were they all found together?

These coins are copies, and don't have the dull brown look of copper found buried in thedirt or sand. I have cleaned many copper coins, and the only method of getting them this color is to remove some surface metal, and soap, backing powder and a toothbrush does not produce the color these coins have.

I smell a rat. I don't think these coins where dug from anywhere.

So are you saying that all Ancient, Copper/Bronze coins come out of the ground have a dull Brown look to them, and how do you remove the surface metal with out damaging the coin I would like to know how, so I can do it to some of my Roman coins.

I think he is saying that trying to clean them to look like this, would have damaged the coins. I dont think an ancient copper alloy coin can be cleaned to look like this. These were recently lost.

 

[CoinHELP!]

You can't remove the brown toning without damamgin the coins, these coins are dipped and cleaned, or they're copies.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

They sure have that replica/fantasy copy look to them.

 

[CRUSADER]

I think you know what my guess is, the edges are a give-a-way IMO...

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I hope you didnt pay too much for them.
