The first is dollar size the next is nickle size

First looks like a Greek imitation coin

I had to copy your photos to another program in order to see them (after adding light and contrast to make them out). On the first coin the writing is Greek (which unfortunately is Greek to me) and the bust on the obverse is reminiscent to Alexander the Great. A reproduction?

Where's PBK?

The first pic is sideways and cropped; the last two are too dark to see. I guess it wasnt you that took the pictures.

From now on, I decided to ignore bad pictures from members that should know better and not even try to ID because it takes too much of my time trying to make them viewable. But here they are a little better for anyone interested. Im not even going to try with the first cropped pic. Interesting token. 8)

[Montana Jim]

The coin is a poor copy and weak translation of an Apollo and the Olympic Chariot coin

True, that is why I deleted that post... about the Ave Caeser game - it was not correct.

Its unusual with the face underneath the horse.

Dang Albert, looks like you bought a bag of fakes! Where'd you get those coins anyway? Monty

Ohh I got some good ones also, a few golds and a lot of silver. Im just getting down to not much good stuff left, i still have about 50 lbs of coins though. Bought them from antique dealer a while back and just going through them slowly. If you look my post in whatsit the last few months youll see some good ones.
