[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 1845529, member: 41780"]Lately, I have been buying Roman coins. For the time being, I am buying cheap ones. I plan on eventually buying higher-grade and even mint state Roman coins (if they exist), and then maybe some Greek coins. Then maybe in the future I'll pick up ancient Indian coins, who knows. I picked up this "quinarius" for $21 on eBay, from approximately 88-87 BC. It was an impulsive buy. Does anyone know anything about this? I bought it because the seller has a good rep and it seemed dirt cheap. I'm game for ancient silver coins in the $20 area at this time. This appears to be the coin: [url]http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces33083.html[/url] The coin seems to be a bit smaller than the denarius. Anyone know something about this coin or of the quinarius in general? Thanks.[/QUOTE]
