<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Larry Moran, post: 947082, member: 4580&quot;]Here&#039;s an ancient Roman coin of a common type. This example likely came from some hoard.&nbsp; These are new photos.&nbsp; I like the fact that some mint luster still shows on this 1,760 year old silver coin.&nbsp; In condition like this, it is not common, a good example of &#039;condition rarity.&#039;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The emperor was Philip the Arab.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Arab" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Arab" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Arab</a></p><p><br /></p><p>While there may be better examples <u>somewhere,</u> I am pleased to own this one.&nbsp; I&#039;ll estimate its grade at Near Gem, or MS-64.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/Larrymo123/after%208-9-09/3c61a50d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/Larrymo123/after%208-9-09/2d26e9ec.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
