DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 12:57 pm What are the odds of two Bactrian coins posted this morning? This one also resembles a tetradrachm of Bactria; compare to the coin below. These are valuable coins, and copies are numerous--it would require an expert appraisal. EUCRATIDES I KING OF BACTRIA.170-145 BC.Silver tetradrachm 16,45 g. Report this Post to the Staff

"I have a a child here that cannot walk, but he may be one of the King's children?" "Can he dance and prove himself a son?" "Eh, not really ... he lurks and jerks around, but he seems to have no real rhythm?!" "off with his head!"" ** side-note => there may be a dude here that wants to save this coin?

Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 5:40 pm If the coin is genuine, melting it for silver content would be a crime against history. Not to mention as wasteful as using bundles of US $100 notes to start a fire. However, if the coin is a fake, it almost certainly isn't going to be made of silver. So either way, you shouldn't melt it. Personally, I think the latter statement is more likely to apply. But we'd really need better pics to verify it. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
