<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1734682, member: 19463&quot;]The photo looks like bronze but the type should be silver.&nbsp; That is a bad sign.&nbsp; There appears to be a network of curvy lines on the surface that photograph as raised (I hope they are raised).&nbsp; That could indicate a crackled (clay?) mold used in low end cast copies if they are part of the coin rather than just drizzled on the surface.&nbsp; I&#039;d put this in a &#039;Black Museum&#039; which many dealers have if for no other reason so they can show people why they should patronize people who know rather than cute kids at the archaeological sites.&nbsp; I would expect many of this sort of thing to walk into your store.&nbsp; Wrong metal casts seem to be coming back from deployment with soldiers here lately judging from some of the inquiries I&#039;ve seen.&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess the melt value of a silver tet is high enough that low end fakers have to move to base metals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
