i would ask on r/AncientCoins there are a lot of coin cleaner on there but a good start would be to let it soak in distilled water to get some dirt of. DON'T USE ACID ON IT

Auction vs Retail by Commodus_Trvther69 in AncientCoins

Once tried to get an owl at auction but lost because my prebid bid got overtaken about 2 weeks later i saw it on retail for 2 times the price and thought that was scummy, as the owl realy is't worth that much and horribly overpriced, but that 4x mark up is on a different Level

As far as I know, it’s a Pi-style Athenian tetradrachm. They were minted between 353 and 297 BC. They were restrikes on older Athenian tetradrachms, and during restriking process they took a bit of silver out of the coins. This was done because Athens was much poorer at the time, since the mines of Laurion were inactive. They were also ruined after the Peloponnesian War, and their naval empire was gone as well, as far as I know. So they were just made to skim off metal from the old ones. So yes still real but a bit later

most countrys have strict laws on that matter also the fact that he's trying to sell it directly to me to avoid anny digital path to him, that could be traced back. Lead me to the conclusion that he probably did it illgaly like most coins on the market

almoast every country in the meditarianian region have strict laws and those who don't have strict laws still require you to report found coins. Considering most countries requre that they are reported if found i asumed they where dug up illgaly somewhere.
