<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2523493, member: 76194&quot;]I honestly can&#039;t decide how I feel about this coin. I&#039;ve been thinking about it over the last day and I still don&#039;t like it, but I can&#039;t be sure. The whole thing is vexing me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would accept this level of corrosion on a post-Commodus Roman tet as they were mostly billon after that date. But it looks a little odd on a Greek Tet that&#039;s supposed to be high grade silver. But the weight is what I would expect on a corroded coin, so you can&#039;t discount it could still be authentic. But a Tet from this period under 17 grams would probably be a pass for me regardless.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also see some silvery deposits on the surface that look odd, and lend credibility to it being a cast. But could it be horn silver? If it is maybe that could lend some credibility the other way and in favor of it being authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it yours? Can we see a picture of the edges?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
