Ancient Greek coin. I'm unable to pinpoint the date of this coin because the legends to me are unreadable. The closest picture and date I found on Wildwinds.com was 392-383 BC, the size of my coin is a little smaller then this example. The Wildwinds example was 18 mm and 4.2 g. This coin is 13x14x4 mm and 3.6 g in weight.

Approx size: 13 x 14 x 4 mm. Weight: 3.6 grams. Coin is worn down from original size so some of the legends are missing on the coin.

Olynthus, Chalcidian League, AR drachm. ca 392-383 BC. Magistrate Dikaios. 18mm, 4.2 g. Laureate head of Apollo right, Lyre on the reverse.

Apollo is the god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, medicine, healing, and plague, music, poetry and the arts, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis.

My coins are cleaned to make them more presentable for jewelry, display, and to help in identification. I can only guarantee they are authentic through my research. Please read the following.
AUTHENTICATION

If you have a report on the coin that states all the particulars of the coin and attests to the authenticity, shows pictures of both the front and back, that report would have cost a minimum of $40, and it would of come from an accredited dealer that is authorized to evaluate a coin. I can see the necessity for a certificate if the coin is of a great value, but not inexpensive coins (coins under $200). I don't give out certificates but I guarantee the coins I sell to be authentic and if they are suspect I will tell you so.

I purchased my coins in auctions from respected dealers that guaranteed they were authentic or dug up in areas where authentic coins were being found by licensed excavators, in foreign countries. I normally had to clean the coins when I got them. I then researched them on the internet and in books in order to identify them. If your worried about your coin being a counterfeit or copy, don't be, counterfeit coins have been identified from as far back as the time the originals were made, even experts would have a hard time identifying a lot these types of coins, as for fakes, most copies are poorly made and are easy to identify To help with identifying some of my coins I used internet sites that show fakes along side the originals and point out the differences.

We state they are authentic, in the unlikely event that a coin I sell is later deemed by an expert (one who has credentials) to be a fake or counterfeit, I will refund your cost of the coin, including shipping, and I will forward info on the coin to several sites on the Internet that list and show coins that are fakes or counterfeit.
