So I have been collecting ancient coins for over 20 years now and when I first was introduced to the hobby I began my adventure by buying uncleaned coins off of [REMOVED BY ADMIN] which where mainly all Balkan at the time.
From one of those first lots I got this coin which i have never been able to ID.  I have been cleaning on it now and then over the years and it seems to be getting a bit smaller.  I am thinking it may be a fourre tetradrachm core?  Anyway, any help to lay my ancient mystery to rest would be appreciated!

Wow thanks!  Mystery solved!!!  I think it is much lighter weight as it has been shrinking a bit as it has been vigorously cleaned too many times to get down to bare metal.
