<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4995178, member: 110226&quot;]I just finished photographing another tetradrachm.&nbsp; This is an Eastern imitation of a 5th century BC tetradrachm of Athens.</p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased this coin as a fouree, and it could very well be one, but it is also possible that it is silver, possibly low grade silver.&nbsp; There is flaking on the obverse and some brown and green deposits, the latter possible due to higher copper content of the alloy oxidizing green.&nbsp; On the other hand, we could be looking at a copper core.&nbsp; The reverse does not exhibit this flaking, but there is a brown deposit around the tail and some more around the feet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like the opinion of other CT members.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin weighs 15.7 grams, which is in the range for an imitation of this type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1199531[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
