No offense intended Michael. Just pokin' fun at a fellow Southerner.
Yay! The dancing chicken. I couldn't help myself Aiden. Really, I love your coin, but it makes me smile every time I see it.
Really? I thought you were a Southerner. Are you really a yankee?

Believe it or not, but I do not have an Alexander Tet. Wanna gimme one? (maybe if I ask this enough, I will get lucky one day, eh?)
To me, it's not just the possible seam, it's the lack of detail on the reverse, or, as some might say, the softness of appearance. And, as @Mikey...
Could the reverse be Mt. Argaeus? There are coins of Elegabalus struck at Caesarea with Mt. Argaeus. Just guessing.
@Ancientnoob you can be so sacrilegious. *Edit* that was suppose to have a devil emoji at the end of that sentence.
Try taking the coin out of the flip when you take the picture. However, from what I can see it's not in terribly good condition. When comparing...
