<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3552198, member: 97383"]To illustrate Barry Murphy's post see the photos below. The 1st coin is one I sold 7 years ago that has very good metal for an Antioch tet. The coin is an excellent strike but has serious porosity, mostly on the reverse. The 2nd coin is an Antioch tet of Philip II struck in poor metal, but the surfaces are exceptionally clean. Murphy's point that both sides of a coin must be judged is also important in determining surface & strike.[ATTACH=full]944005[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]944006[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]944007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]944008[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]944009[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]944010[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
