Syria Antioch ELAGABALUS AD.218 222 BI TETRADRACHM NGC HOLDER GRADED VF SHARP....This coin is silver. And was neaver cleaned with electricity or the or cleaner. Coin is as seen and as it was unearthed. Coin is dark brown to green pantina. ANDis supper heavy and simpler to a bronze coin in color.Coin  could be lower silver content or heavily toned and more than some of this type.And out of 250 coin in my collection. This stands out.As verry nice strike.But is dark.These example of coins like this come up half as often.Most are cleaned.To find better they need to be bright and Au or ms with high numbers like 4 and four.Eagle with star between legs.and coin is genuine and authentic and affordable and heavily toned. And dark.Less eye appeal than the other's on my site.But will be priced less because of this and the grade is lower than most on my site.And I do know these coins well.And 80% of these coins on ebay are pitted to hell.This coin is knot.And others on my site have outstanding surfaces and are nice for grade.You half to get au or ms to see them better with high numbers on holder .You decide.
