Popular Post Mohawk Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2021 I've been thinking.......we have a "For the love of copper" thread, so why not a "For the love of silver" thread? So, let's give this a try!! Post any coins you want to share, just as long as they're silver. I'll start us off with my only Faustina the Younger provincial, a silver Tetradrachm minted in Alexandria, Egypt: Let's see some great silver!!! rrantique, Coinbuf, Hoghead515 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Arrius Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I never knew numismatists were allowed to look at women like that! And that's a Boulder she was sitting on! If anything, I can definitely see where citing these areas would militate in a buyer's favor in determining a proper grade and negotiating a fair [market value] price. You've done very well, Mr. Spud! Mr_Spud and CoinJockey73 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
