Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 5:55 pm I am curious to know the grading of this coin, please. I believe it to be: Appollonia, Illyria, AR drachm, (3.00g) after 229 BC, NIKAN_PO_ Cow standing right, looking back at calf, which she suckles. / Double stellate pattern. S1900var. Thank you (in anticipation) Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 7:05 pm I would grade the coin F-. Its a fairly common type available in high grades. Your coin has honest wear and it being off center doesn't help it. Its still a wonderdul and unique type to own. Report this Post to the Staff

stevenm123 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 4:18 pm what grade would you give this coin? ATTICA: ATHENS Silver Tetradrachm (24.5mm, 16.95 gm.) Athens, 454-449 B.C. Helmeted head of Athena right. Owl standing right, head facing. Reference: SNG Delepierre 1441 Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 4:25 pm From the pictures the coin looks like it has a silver wash over a base metal. If that's the case than the coin is a copy, otherwise it looks OK. I would give it a grade of VG. Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 4:43 pm No, not fake. Did he happen to mention "fouree" anywhere in the listing? This stands for contemporary counterfeit. The test cut fits with this assumption. "fouree" means a contemporary counterfeit. Edited by zxcccxz 09/07/2014 4:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
stevenm123 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 5:40 pm He did not say it was that. Here is the link to the listing on his website. https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/st...Default.aspx Report this Post to the Staff
