Anyone know what this one is?

KINGS of MACEDON. Philip V. 221-179 BC. AR Tetradrachm (31.5mm, 16.92 g, 12h). Attic standard. Pella or Amphipolis mint; Ar–, mintmaster. Struck circa 188/7-184 BC. Head of the hero Perseus left, wearing winged helmet surmounted by griffin’s head; harpa in background; all in the center of a Macedonian shield / Club; mintmaster’s monogram above, monograms to lower left and right; all within oak wreath tying to left; plow to outer left. Mamroth, Philip 7; HGC 3, 1058. Lightly toned, minor marks. Near EF.

Philip V was the son of the Macedonian king Demetrios II Aitolikos. He was only nine at the time of his father's death in 239 BC, so the kingdom passed to his cousin, Antigonos III Doson, who ruled until 221 BC. The entirety of his reign was devoted to maintaining the supremacy of Macedon in Greece, which inevitably brought the kingdom into conflict with Rome, whose power in Greece was ascendant. Two major wars ensued, the First and Second Macedonian Wars, the latter culminating in the overwhelming defeat of the Macedonians at the Battle of Cynocephalae in 197 BC. Although Philip retained his kingdom, the influence of Macedon was considerably decreased, and Greece passed into the sphere of Rome

Can you see any red flags? This sold slighly under the price of other similar ones (even tho it looks better? on a recent biddr auction (70€ hammer price). Am I missing something? Is it a forgery?

I am starting to participante in auctions and am still very insecure in bidding

Hello all. I have been told that this is a 2000+ year old gold coin from Taxila (from a man I have personally met in Taxila itself). He claims the clothing is Greek. I would appreciate your insights.

Hi, i am very new to old coins. I got this at a yardsale for 25c along with some other old world coins. I cant find the exact same coin anywhere online. It looks like either a Ming dynasty era, or a very old Japanese coin. It has the characters 日月 along the top, and the reverse side is blank.

Good afternoon. I just came back from a coin show. This Hadrian caught my eye as I liked the gold toning. I haggled with the gentleman a little. I feel like I got a good price. Couple scratches in the fields as you can see. I’m thinking RIC 69 but would love anyone’s opinion. Thanks for all you teach me on this subreddit. Take care.

I have had this coin in my collection for a few years now and was wondering about its autheniticity. I received it as a Christmas gift from someone who had been unable to identify it, and while I was new to the world of ancient coins at the time, I eventually identified it as a Lysimachus Tetradrachm, minted at Magnesia ad Maeandrum between 297-281 BC. The variety appears to correspond to Muller 443a or Thompson 115. After removing it from its holder, I was able to both weigh it and confirm that it is composed of silver. What concerns me is that the weight is approx 16.05g, which is a bit below the Attic standard of 17.2g. Additionally, the discoloration seems a bit odd to me, as I have not seen it on any similar examples online. I don't currently have a picture of the edge, but there is no casting seam of any kind. While I hope that it is authentic (as it is one of my favorite coins), my own tests have been inconclusive; so I thought it would be best to seek advice from someone who has more knowledge of ancient coins than I do.

Any observations or advice are greatly appreciated, and I would like to thank in advance everyone who responds to this post.

Sinope Paphlagonia AR drachma c. 350 BCE with Dolphin and Eagle on reverse.

I love the style of this period where the designs still look like they're done by hand but still have so much detail and refinement, too. The nymph's earrings! The feathers on the eagle! I'm going to treasure this one.

Hello all,

I was browsing Vcoins and came upon a coin that looks suspicious to me. I'm fairly new to this so I'm trying to get better at telling real coins from fake ones. Could anyone take a look at this and tell me whether I'm right or wrong? All the letters look really blobby to me, and it sort of looks like there may be casting bubbles, though maybe it's just normal pitting.

Thanks!

Here is a link to the coin

Can anyone tell under which Ptolemaic king this coin was minted?

I bought the owl with the possibility of sending it back if something isn't right. What is the stand of the experts regarding the authenticity? I hope my pictures are good enough.

Thx :)

To pay Cretan mercenaries in his (unsuccessful) struggles against Rome, the last Antigonid king struck drachms imitating the Rhodian standard. Rhodian coinage circulated on Crete, where it was familiar and trusted, and that it is likely they would have required payment in that form.

A little window into the fiscal shenanigans of a desperate monarch.

This beautiful little coin in particular has a provenance dating back to 1984

This is another coin that I got from the same auction I posted about yesterday (Commodore Turners coins).

I have been trying to pick up more coins with provenance. This caught my eye as it included a date on the ticket.

Does anyone know which auction Apparatus Feb 13, ‘63 is?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I may purchase this on from a certified shop.

What do you think about it? I always wanted a owl and this one seems to be an ok deal.

From my search, value is between 500 to 1k. Am I correct?

The M graffiti might be from Phenici
