<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3378223, member: 19463&quot;]I read this request as wanting only electrum coins and I have none from the early Greek period.&nbsp; I have seen some I like but CNG has scared me off being to quick to pounce on a generic coin by selling bulk lots of the common things that I would probably want just as a sample example.&nbsp; The time will come when people resell the pedestrian coins or I will continue to live without.&nbsp; Yes, IMO, they have gold content but the weight and alloy do not justify the prices I am seeing for the ordinary ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>In electrum, I do have a later Byzantine which seems to exist in various levels of gold/silver ratio.&nbsp; I am not a gold fan and can not tell alloy by eye.&nbsp; Anyone?&nbsp; I was once told that cup shaped Byzantine coins have an alloy of two metals (gold/silver or silver/copper) while flat coins are more pure one metal.&nbsp; Confirm or deny.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]896607[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
