Ragnaer New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 11:56 am Hey Guys. No idea what this is. Wasn't even sure what to search in google to try and get any sort of information. Hopefully someone here can give me some insight on where this coin is from and what is potentially can cost. Thanks in advance * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 1:05 pm Purports to be a rare tetradrachm of Syracuse, Sicily, with Arethusa obverse, quadriga reverse. I recommend posting to the ancients board for more info/opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 2:25 pm I believe this to be a cast copy. Can you provide a picture of the edge and a size and weight of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Ragnaer New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 2:30 pm I don't have a scale so I cant really guess how much it weighs. But it does have some weight to it Report this Post to the Staff

Ragnaer New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 2:40 pm This is the second "old coin" that a friend has brought over to me thinking he struck gold. Glad I'm not the one spending money on them Report this Post to the Staff
