[QUOTE="ArtDeco, post: 24842009, member: 119259"]Thanks for the replies, I've owned a few 1/4 Shekels from the 2nd Punic war but never a 1/2 Shekel. If you ask me it is definitely cool to have something closely associated with Hannibal Barca, very cool coin and nice centering on yours [USER=116882]@Silphium Addict[/USER] Here are quick photos of the Obverse and Reverse of the coin, the coin is actually not as porous as it looks in the photos, I over cropped the photo and it looks a bit blurry. The reddish deposits aren't a massive issue but it would be nice to remove them if I have a safe way of doing it without damaging the coin. There is some decent toning on the coin also that might disappear with acidic methods, so I might like to avoid that. [ATTACH=full]1591378[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1591379[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
