Sorry I forgot size and weight. I'll get it when I go home at noon.  There are some Catana's without the flying victory but the portrait is quite different. |

 - Call me crazy but also think I can now make out the 'KAT' and 'N' of KATANAI-O-N on your coin Doucet! |

I won't call you crazy Bobby, but for the life of me I can't see KAT and N on there anywhere. Where do you see that?

Sorry, meant to say 'KAT' and 'O':  Faint but just visible I think. |

I still have some doubts but the size is 25.5mm and weight is 14.8g.
I'm not familiar enough with tetradrachms to know if this is in the right range.
The other examples shown here are appx. 16.5 to 17.5g, but I did see another cantana tet on the web that was 14.5g?
I'll try to get better pics and show the edge also, There is a spot on the edge that could be a sprue mark. Whether it's from the ancient sprue or not I don't know.

Here is, hopefully, a better picture of the coin and a couple of edge views. The left edge view is what I thought might be remnants of a sprue. The right shows the taper to the coin. It is thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom. Sorry things weren't better at the beginning. Thanks for the comments and once again comments appreciated.   |

There are some many Greek coins that I haven't seen in all grades that it would total guesswork on my part--hope it check out!  |

Been thinking about this all day and still cant decide either way  I see as many points for as against, I would need to hear a strong argument to condemn it but wouldn't put up much resistance if you know what I mean. An expert in this area needed I feel. |
