Ontario, Canada, seems a bit far awy for those of us living in the USA? As long as I have to travel internationally, I'd suggest Krakow, Poland....
Can you get the weight of the piece, it's diameter in mm, and photos of both sides?
Regarding coin weights, I believe that better balances would be useful. The cheaper $13 or so scales are not too accurate despite their ability...
Found the flip: It's from Tom Cederlind, lot # 169, silver tetradrachm 26mm 14.41 g. possibly a 2012 or 2013 sale. I'll go by my wt as I was...
