JWJ New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 08/08/2021 01:28 am Hi, As a first step into ancient coins, I purchased some uncleaned Roman and Greek ancient coins. This one already looks clean. I've look around and don't see something that looks like it. Any thoughts on what it might be? Also, would you suggest trying to clean this more than it already is? Thanks.

I suspect you over-stated the diameter but 8g is about right For the tetradrachm. It's already a bit over-cleaned. I wouldn't do anything to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vima_Takto https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=3652 Edited by Kushanshah 08/08/2021 02:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

JWJ New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 08/08/2021 02:18 am Thanks both! Very much appreciated. Yes, it's only about 20 mm diameter. Not sure where I got 45 from, but good catch. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
