I won a total of three times, one time I used some credit for the one Roman Republic semis and Byzantine Pentanummium I posted a few weeks ago. I spent almost the entire $100 along with my prize credit, making it even better. I&#039;m getting 4 fairly decent coins as you&#039;ll see soon. This Phoenician 1/16 AR shekel is the first one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know very little about this coin until recently. I also don&#039;t have the reference book for whatever is HGC. Feel free to post a Phoenician coin or any that have a galley if you like. More information about this coin is also welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>Merry Christmas all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
