<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 3246704, member: 81093&quot;]Thanks dougsmit, always great to get your knowledgeable views.</p><p><br /></p><p>I asked you directly, but may as well include the question here for good measure so everyone can see - you use fairly qualified statements like &quot;There is nothing wrong with the style of this coin&quot; and &quot;I see many good points in the coin as a representative of what it is&quot; - is there also a red flag? Or are these statements more representative of the declining quality of these Tetradrachms in the period struck?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks mate! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Absolutely agree, no tests cuts. As you say, all well and good for the ancients of the day to do it, but for me to do it? Not on your life.</p><p><br /></p><p>As mentioned, I&#039;ll do my standard SG test, which will tell me whether it&#039;s fine silver or not (or at least whether it has the SG of fine silver), which will rule out fourrees at the very least.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>beginner345, as mentioned above, you have not breached the rules with this post (or any other in this thread), and you&#039;re entitled to offer your view. One thing I&#039;ll say (in relation to the quote above) is that CoinTalk never stifles discussion and arguments. If you have a different view, new members, old members, whatever - it&#039;s all fine. You&#039;re free to express your view, as long as you don&#039;t breach the forum rules.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Deacon Ray, and thanks for sharing yours! Of course it counts, it&#039;s an Owl! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting. I assume it&#039;s not, but I&#039;m relatively new to ancients as well, and don&#039;t have the depth required to make such an observation. I defer to the more knowledgeable members of CoinTalk</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Excellent, thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
