Re: Seleukos Tetradrachm the image looks like otacilla severus and the reverse is similar to her denarii but the words dont seem to be what I'd expect. they look like "heretous cilliane "

yep, probably. replicas are sold but obvious. I doubt anybody is going to a lot of trouble to fake them at that price. at higher prices sure and fake them and find ways of abrading and antiquing them and so forth. but at the $200 level thats a lot of work. I could be wrong but I would stick to buying anything over $50 from a good vendor who is not liable to sell fakes.

Re: Seleukos Tetradrachm there are a ton of supply of roman denarii and alexandrian and seleukid coins so I dont imagine there are a lot of fakes in the lower price range. the higher price range is where fakes would be worth the troulbe.

Well it seems to me something that old would command a higher premium, but I am not a numismatics person

I thought that too but its just a question of supply and demand. its like this-- I got a bunch of silver 2,3,5 mark coins from German Reich, Prussia, etc-- they're prolific. It was a big economy! In the same era, American silvers can go for way more than equivalent size German coins. Supply-- higher; demand is greater for US coins here, too, than foreigns or ancients.
