[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 3097437, member: 81093"]My apologies GDJMSP, for some reason I thought you collected ancient coins. Probably a moot point now, but the Illyrian Drachm I am talking about is the suckling cow and calf coin, struck between 150BC and 50BC after Illyria was conquered by the Romans. It’s an interesting coin really, because it was struck under Roman authority, in Greek style. Here is a link to some examples on Wildwinds (see Ceka 92): [url]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/illyria/dyrrhachium/t.html[/url] And sorry, I should have expressed that better. My comments regarding the SG do not relate to the authenticity of said coin. Rather, they relates to the material of the said coin. My question is not whether the SG reading for this coin confirms authenticity, it’s whether or not it rules out silver content.[/QUOTE]
