<p>[QUOTE="RoyBryan, post: 2051948, member: 73243"]thanks all the best to you and yours in 2015. I really do not have access to a lot of tools to assist. I can tell you the weight on the Elymais is 11.19g and when conducting the "ting test" and gently dropping it, it acts and sounds like ancient silver. Since I was lead to the ID of it I found out the weight was right on with other examples. Also I was offered $500 from another Afghani who collects these things 15 minutes after buying it from the other side of the base. Had I parted with it I would have made $150. The same guy condemned 2 Alexanders before I went home in June to have an American tell me the same thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
