I could be wrong, but some have that fake patina look
lack of definition in the letters, I hope this is OK to ask

I see no reason to suspect any of those coins. Steve has been involved in ancients for a while now and is pretty knowledgeable.

plus as a Vcoins dealer he abides by the code of ethics

https://www.vcoins.com/en/CodeOfEthics.aspx

"I will vouch for the authenticity of items I sell and will have no time limit on the return of items discovered to be non-authentic. I will offer a full cash refund upon return of any such item, including the cost of return shipping."

Vcoins is perhaps the safest place online to buy coins...of course since I have a store there, I have a bias.

you also have the page set to French (in your link), you can change the language setting in the top right...unless you are more comfortable with French.

Thanks for clearing that up, I can not spot a fake from a photo.
should I delete this post?
I am also thinking of starting a vcoins store. does the store pay for itself? $39 a month? fees?
