This one was in my cull pile when I noticed the nice heft and dull grey color:

A-Wonderfully-Ugly-Uncleaned-Lot-Find. A-Wonderfully-Ugly-Uncleaned-Lot-Find.

Weight is spot on, 7.78g.

Anyone want to take a stab at what it is?

Looks like a radiated bust so it's not a Ptolemy. So I'm thinking Alexandria tet maybe Nero?

How am I not the only person posting about ancient coins at 1:30 AM on a Thursday?

Nail on the head

Nero, Alexandria tetradrachm. Radiate head of Nero right / Eagle left.

Not worth much of anything, but this makes the third silver from three lots won from this seller. Hopefully it will make back a good chunk of the cost of the lot on ebay.
