Im very happy with my recent purchase, a big silver tetradrachm I was watching already for a long time. I was amazed how big it was when it arrived and how thick, It cant even lay flat due the details of the obverse!  Im sorry for the photo, it looks a lot better in hand  The price was good and I bought it via a reputable seller of Germany. Lysimachus. 305-281 BC. AR Tetradrachm (16.24 gm, 29mm). Abydos mint. Struck early-mid 3rd century BC. Diademed head of the deified Alexander right / Athena Nikephoros seated left; to inner left, eagle standing right. I dont know the exact reference yet, cant find the monogram T.. any help is welcome!   Lysimachus 360 BC - - " 281 BC) was a Macedonian officer and diadochus (successor) of Alexander the Great, who became a King in 306 BC, ruling Thrace, Asia Minor and Macedon.  Edited by Dutchgulden

Well, I'm new one and total amateur and I know you are tired of such questions but...what do you think about these two ones?
One should be Lysimachus tetradrahm and it is 30mm dia and 17g, second one Macedonian also 30mm and 17g.
Thank you in advance for reply.
Of course, I'm looking for your opinion about authenticity.
