Small group of Trajan / Antioch tetradrachms
« on: June 20, 2022, 05:06:28 pm »
Received a small group of Trajan / Antioch tetradrachms.  And they looked pretty good in hand, but their weight concerns me.  The weight is between 10.5 to 11.5 grams each, but when I look at the weights of these types from the major auctions, they are usually between 13 and 15 grams, so mine are very light.   Have attached photos of the coin and some edges.  Would appreciate your thoughts on these.

Thanks

Marsha

They are all somewhat worn which may account for the light weight.  I see nothing wrong with them, but this is not my specialty.

I do not see anything to condemn them.

Thank you so much for your help.  It does give me more of a comfort level with these.
