    Hello,
    For last 5-6 years i have 4 silver and 5 bronze ancient greek coins. I like to get them examine and priced. Is here anyone in ireland who does that?
    I compared them to coins to be selling on ebay, have few exact same as them which are goes for 300 pounds on uk ebay. The coins are big and heavy, not the small penny sized ones. On the bronze ones is hard to read the lettering, they not cleaned properly.
    Any help apppreciated.

    There's lots of fakes of Greek coins so you might want to get them examined, however I don't know anyone in Ireland who specialises in them. There was a few dealers at the last coin fair in Feb who would have known, you could bring them to the next big fair in Oct. at the RDS. If they are real then you have your valuations from ebay.

    If you post large pictures of them here I'll give you my opinion if they are genuine, however I'd be more familiar with Roman so I'd only be guessing.

    Sorry, but they would all appear to be modern forgeries to me. But feel free to bring them to a specialist for a second opinion.
