<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Codera, post: 26233023, member: 70631&quot;]I know I&#039;ve shared this Athenian tetradrachm on here already but after sharing it on the r/AncientCoins subreddit, a few commenters were having their doubts about its authenticity, saying it doesn&#039;t look like real silver but rather a cast forgery, that its weight of 15.60 grams is too low, flan cracks too round, general lack of sharpness in corners, Athena&#039;s eye doesn&#039;t look right, pits that don&#039;t look like corrosion. Another commenter said that it looks like a legitimate mid-mass issue but heavily cleaned and corroded. I&#039;m not really sure how to proceed with this coin, either leave it be or ask for a refund (I bought it from Ephesus Numismatics on VCoins)?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1675469[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Attica, Athens</p><p>AR Tetradrachm</p><p>454-404-BC</p><p>Helmeted head of Athena right</p><p>AθE, Owl standing right, facing, olive sprig and crescent behind</p><p>Large test cut</p><p>15.60 g.</p><p>24 mm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
