[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 2977535, member: 85693"]I sort of bought this by accident - thought I could throw it in for free shipping along with something else, then I got outbid on the something else. I was full of buyer's remorse, but when it came in the mail, I rather like the ugly little thing, and it was $5.50 with shipping. The green stuff looks like bronze disease? I'm not going to do anything with it since I like the contrast. Let it rot, in this case. Anyway, I know nothing about these except what I read here and poking around Google. I found a Vcoin listing that looks like mine (except much, much nicer). Please straighten me out if I'm wrong. It weighs 8.3 grams. AE Tetradrachm 7.30g. 21mm. RY 6 (274-275 A.D.)
