Its genuine and excellent condition.

 

Agree with Bing, it's fine. Nice example.

 

Better question is, what are your concerns?

 

Nice coin, and buying it from vcoins gives you some assurance of authenticity. Besides it looks like the real McCoy as far as my untrained eye can see.

 

the silver looks a little worn and doesn’t look like it normally does that’s what i thought

 

Pretty par the course for high-silver billon issues like these. I saw some pitting which might have been of concern, but i am not concerned overall

 

Porosity is very common in these coins and one which did not have any would be suspect in my mind. The coin appears genuine to me and in nice condition.

 

The coin looks okay to me. What's the weight?

The fact that the coin came from a Vcoins seller means that you can return it without any hassles, but that I a really nice example of his debased tetradrachms, which can be porous and rough, as noted, so I'd keep it as a nice type coin.

 

Definitely genuine - great coin, thanks for sharing!

 

it weighs 13g
