<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 3071548, member: 38412&quot;]When acquiring this silver Phoenician stater, I enjoyed the face of Melkart on obverse, as well as the Phoenician inscription on reverse. Believed to be a civic issue of mid fourth century, the coin has serious corrosion on the edge on the upper left side of reverse. With naked eye, I thought it was cut there. Otherwise, the coin is in VF condition. My question is whether such corrosion could cause a loss of weight up to 1 g. or a little bit more? In fact, the coin weighs 9.1 g. only. I managed to scan and also shoot the coin on both obverse and reverse. Your opinions are of great help and outcome to me. Thanks..&nbsp; Maybe I shouldn&#039;t have cleaned it so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]771878[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]771879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]771881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]771880[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
