[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 3302763, member: 77226"]That's what I thought too as none of my 3rd century tetradrachms were silvered, even the ones in perfect condition. This coin most definitely is/was coated with a silver/tin wash. After looking through the rest of my Alexandrian coins, I'm finding a few more with a white metal wash in the crevices. Here's a few closeups of the coin, showing a better look. I'll have to do a bit more information hunting tonight on this topic. [ATTACH=full]875253[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
