<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrTyphon, post: 8177626, member: 134607&quot;]Hey all, first time posting here. In December I stumbled across this pendant made with a silver Attican tetradrachm. The age of the piece just fascinated me, and as a complete newbie in the field, I did not perform as much due diligence as I should have before snatching it up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since then, I&#039;ve been enjoying researching ancient coins and am interested in starting a collection. But after oggling over my coin for a while, I&#039;ve noticed that the owl side has some concerning pitting (especially to the right). Although I&#039;ve come across other tetradrachms with pitting, these little holes are still naggling me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Do these pits seem like a cause to doubt the coin&#039;s authenticity? Any idea what may have caused them? I trust the seller and their intentions, and I think if the piece did end up being a cast fake (it certainly is real silver), they weren&#039;t aware and would give me a refund. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429280[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429279[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Best and thanks for any help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
