[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by mena7: [qb] Lioness I think this is King Juba I real coin. [IMG]http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Misc/North_Africa/Juba_I.jpg[/IMG] This thousand year old coin is in a to good condition and it look like a modern white European, it is a fake. [/qb][/QUOTE]There are old coins in good condition. This is a fact The coin you are showing is very worn down and you can't tell how the features an detail really are So because the features may be flattened out by the wear and might be making them look more like a West African you can't just say this one is real and the others are fake because you want Juba to look more West African Juba I was born in 85 BC This coin is from around 120 BC of Antiochos VIII Epiphanes [IMG]http://history-of-macedonia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/KING-ANTIOXOS.jpg[/IMG] SELEUKID KINGS of SYRIA. Antiochos VIII Epiphanes (Grypos). 121/0-97/6 BC. AR Tetradrachm (30mm, 16.09 g, 12h). Sidon mint. Dated SE 197 (116/5 BC). Diademed head right / Zeus Ouranios standing left; ΣIΔΩ/IEP/A and two monograms; I(retrograde P)P (date) in exergue; all within wreath. SC 2330.2; HGC 9, 1197g. VF, toned, minor roughness mena some people have always saved and collected coins and there are many old coins in pretty good condition so you cant say this is fake [IMG]http://picturestack.com/874/333/3XUPicture6Joi.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-30-90.png[/IMG] __________________________________________________ [IMG]http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Misc/North_Africa/Juba_I.jpg[/IMG] ^^^^ If something is worn down like this that wear can be faked also on a modern coin Onlly a coin expert who is looking at these coins in person can make a good guess if it might be fake or not [/QB][/QUOTE]
