I posted it earlier, but these are better pics now. Can anyone tell me what it is worth? What material is it made of? Just more info in general would be nice It's about 27 or 28 mm,
Material should be silver. Should weigh 15.5 - 17 grams, Diameter seems correct In that condition I could fetch $350-$400USD if not a bit more.

Welcome TVB. New style Tets are nice and they're hefty. Here is my only one. Ugly as it may seem, I'm happy with it.
I really love this photo of the coin. Doesn't look nearly as crappy as I had originally thought. Kudos Bing...I want it.
The coin is listed on Svoronos, Corpus of the Ancient Coins of Athens Plate 47 - 5 through 8 but yours is weak at the bottom making the letters there unclear. By chance, Bing's coin is the same with the same three magistrate names. Mine below has two of the same names but I have Kallikrates where you have Eumenes. That makes mine Plate 47- 2. I agree with the price given for a coin with your obverse and Bing's reverse but I think it a bit high considering the faults on both coins as they are. There are many of these with different symbols where you have the eagle and magistrate names. My other one is below with thunderbolt and completely different names. In nice condition these are very popular and expensive. Worn ones like we have are easier to find but still not cheap. One dealer points out that there were estimated to be 8000 'above ground' in 1961 when a book on them (Thompson - I do not have that one.) was written. That number has certainly grown but who knows how much.
I have to agree with Doug. Neither the OP coin or mine is worth $400. I paid substantially less. In fact less than half of that. At $400 I would expect a coin in much better condition than either.
