<p>[QUOTE="TheRed, post: 3200153, member: 87080"]Photos alone can be tough to judge. That said, the overall style in the photos looks fine for Seleukos I tetradrachm from Babylon, though I'll have to double check the control marks on the reverse. Can you provide weight and diameter? An authentic Seleukos tetradrachm should weigh between 17.2 and 16.8 g as a general rule of thumb, with the typical weight around 17.1 grams. If the coin is too light, say 14 g, then that would raise a red flag.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
