<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2471002, member: 76194&quot;]Would you like to see some coins purchased at this year&#039;s Baltimore show? I don&#039;t know if they&#039;ll be your cup of tea. After all, they are not entombed in precious NGC plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]519788[/ATTACH]</p><p>A rare hemidrachm of Emperor Hadrian. Roman Provincial fractional silver coinage is very uncommon during this time period, and the bust on this one is as nice as they come.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you want Greek fractional silver coinage, but want something with a Gallic touch, how about this beautiful Obol from Gaul, from the city state of Massalia (modern day Marseilles). I believe this one is from around 300BCE, or roughly two millennia before the U.S. ever struck it&#039;s first coin. Not bad, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]519789[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
