Arael Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 03:58 am I bought this coin online a few days ago, and the pictures looked fine to me at the time. It hasn't arrived yet, but the more I look at the pictures the more I get the feeling that something is wrong. Any of you guys care to help me out? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Arael Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 04:14 am There's no real red flag to me, something about it just feels a little off. To me it's the reverse, it just looks, odd. I could be totally wrong and hopefully I am, just had to put all fears to rest. Report this Post to the Staff

ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 07:35 am It's fine, no worries :) EGYPT, Alexandria. Potin tetradrachm. Probus, year 2 (CE 276/7). Reverse is Elpis standing left. As Medieval said, it is Emmett 3987 (2), rarity rating 1 (common). Edited by ThisIsFun 10/14/2014 07:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 4:58 pm When you acquire the RIC,SEAR or authentication number go to CNG or ACSEARCH and run the size and weight and match it to your coin and see if it is close. If the average weight of that coin is 4.2 grams and yours weighs 1 gram, that could be an issue. Report this Post to the Staff
