[QUOTE="Mat, post: 24609060, member: 21445"]Interesting. I had the same issue with this Gallienus tetradrachm. I bought solely because it had an odd silver look too it. Keith Emmett had to narrow the date down for me & type as a whole. He was stumped as to why it was silver looking too but did say it probably wasn't silver but a mix of other low-value metals.

R: Homonoia standing left, holding double cornucopia and raising hand; palm in right field, to left, date ΛΙΔ 21.5mm 9.05g Dattari 3816[/QUOTE]
