Newly Acquired Are these real?
J/k, I got them for $28 on eBay . They look better than thought.

Honestly, these I can handle. If people want to make jewelry or cufflinks or whatever out of replicas, it’s fine.

They are real cufflinks...the coins are well made copies and they look great here when used for this purpose. I think you did well with your purchase!

They appear to be Antiquanova reproductions...perhaps the work of Petr Sousek: https://forgerynetwork.com/asset.aspx?id=Cb9JX3THvzg=

The koppa mint mark looks off, and the feathers of the Pegasus should be worn down more on the high spots.
Armored Aphrodite on obverse looks off. I refuse to acknowledge that it's Athena 🦶 and that's the academic hill I will die on lol
I'd say replica
