solidusman Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 hey there people, need a little help on this. A friend of mine recently went to carthage and picked these up from someone who 'found them while digging' (in other words looting). Personally I don't condone this, but she had no idea and thought it would be interesting to have them. I'm not sure about these two coins, as there seems to be something about them that makes me looks twice. However, I will admit that my expertise in carthaginian and roman provincial coins is limited, so some extra help would be appreciated! Are these fantasy fakes, or the real thing? Many thanks!

bpmurphy Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Good news is no one was looting. Bad news is they are modern forgeries sold at bazaars in North Africa and the Middle East. Barry Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
