So, without going into too much detail, I am looking to get any thoughts on the coin that is pictured in the attachments. It seems very legit looking at it but, is definitely a different profile from the classic AR tetradrachm. This coin is approximately 18mm - 20mm across, not sure of the weight. Photos make it seem more silver leaning while in room lighting it seems to have more of a bronze glow in the areas that the patina is rubbed off though it could all just be a lighting effect. There is definitely a little grime over the head of Silenos but, I dont think it is corrosion.

Thought I might look at getting some other opinions. Thanks for any input.

In my opinion, it is a cast copy, of poor quality. Stylistically, it doesn't look right... Sorry!

My first impression is that it is not genuine.
