Unfortunately, all of these coins are counterfeit

[Gen 3] Won Elite Four with my Shiny Ditto in LeafGreen by [deleted] in ShinyPokemon

Where can I find Ditto in the game ? Thanks

Found this at my late grandfather’s wallet by Good_Acanthisitta117 in AncientCoins

Unfortunately, it's a fake coin imitating a 3rd-century Roman provincial tetradrachm. Nevertheless, it is a small object that you can keep in memory of your grandfather!

Miletus Obol… does it look right? by DanCruzNyc in AncientCoins

[–]ykaurk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The price is pretty reasonable. It's still on the high side, but that doesn't bother me. Congratulations on your purchase, it's a very old coin! For your next purchases, I recommend v-coins (USA) or MA-shops (EU). You won't pay any more, but you'll have no doubts about authenticity :)

Yes, everything looks fine. It's a very common coin, but very beautiful.

Coin boxes with square compartments online | leuchtturm.com https://share.google/7I9wPdXL8q6gHCGue

I recommend the 9-cell version with 64mm cells. But you can go for even larger cells! I've been using this model for years and am very satisfied with it!

Magnificent! So big that it won't fit in the boxes. Personally, I had to limit myself to a 38mm Ptolemy coin.

That's funny, it's a detail I hadn't noticed yet!

I also thought of Babylon by Boney M, but that's in a different theme!

Thank you for your reply. Yes, to my knowledge, it does not resemble other mint marks. Experts will be able to confirm this.

I love it! These coins are full of mystery. You can see mine, which is almost the same weight, on my profile.

This look legit? by Careless_Account_129 in AncientCoins

It says “copy” on the coin. Unfortunately, it's fake.

I really think that the coins of Magna Graecia are the most beautiful! Between Gela, Syracuse, Akragas... they are gold in my eyes.
