brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 11/01/2016 5:58 pm I know these are horrible seller pics, but I see what might be a seam line on the pic with the rim or it could just be a cut. The reverse appears damaged like this was a pin at some point. Do you think it is genuine? Thanks for opinions. I am leaning towards not touching this with a ten foot pole option, but want to know if others agree. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/01/2016 7:52 pm Can you take some pictures that are not on an angle? I believe your coin is Demetrios II Nikator from the Tyre mint. Similar in style to the Tyre Shekel. I think it's genuine but need those better pictures. Here is a picture of one of mine. It's not one of the Ptolemy's. Report this Post to the Staff
