Nope. Send them to me for proper disposal.

I can't attest that they are what you say they are, but I've seen the verdigris and the red gunk
on several of the ancients that I acquired. If they faked the aged look, they did a very good job.

Fakes generally have really good details, despite their apparent age. Yours look good to me.

Although I'm no expert by any means, that's my gut feeling.

Thanks for the opinions guys! I know asking "are these real" and expecting an answer from just my sorry photos is asking too much, but I appreciate the feedback.

I have no idea.

That is something I can say in regard to so many things!

It's good to approach these things with an open mind, or no mind at all.

I can't see any images. They must be before 1838 C.E.
