[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3726521, member: 87404"][B][SIZE=5]My first Carthaginian silver![/SIZE][/B] I'd been looking slowly looking for the one that was within my budget, but still a nice looking coin. With the 1/4 shekel being on the smaller side, that was the type that I was paying more attention to. I noticed that Savoca (London) had one listed in their recent auction about a week ago. I figured that the price would bump higher in the live auction and I wasn't able to participate live, so I wrote it off. A day later I was checking the results and it showed it didn't sell, so I reached out to them to see if it was available and purchasable and Philipp replied soon after with an invoice that I happily paid. Then 3 days later (super fast shipping from UK > USA!) it was in my hands and collection.
