living-in-the-past Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 4:34 pm Need help with the coin below. it is 27mm x 25mm and 14.0g. with some damage. I think it may be a silver Ptolemaic tetradrachm, but I could not find an exact match on-line. Any detailed information about its attribution, age, ruler, authenticity, rarity, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

living-in-the-past Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 5:06 pm Wow, I am always amazed on how quickly you can find the exact match Bob! Thank you so much! Assuming it is authentic, any thoughts on how much the damage hurts its value? Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 5:27 pm Not sure about the value. Obviously Zurqieh's is in excellent shape. My assumption is that the date (EΣ), in combination with other devices, from this mint, is rare - I am spotting some Antiochos VIII tets with similar reverses, but different SE dates, for a good deal cheaper. Sorry - not my area. Here's another, similar, btw (assuming the link works): https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b...8465/f2.item Edited by Kamnaskires 12/30/2018 5:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
