<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3206525, member: 56859&quot;]Below is a coin with horn silver.&nbsp; I wanted the type-- specifically this earlier heavier version because I prefer the style-- and the same coin in similar grade but without horn silver would have cost considerably more.&nbsp; I don&#039;t find the horn silver too distracting although others may.&nbsp; I agree with Clavdivs and Joe.&nbsp; If you like it, then don&#039;t worry about the horn silver except to factor in to what you are willing to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.wixstatic.com%2Fmedia%2Fae43f8_4d173c7a9a1647188462acab0530f434%7Emv2.jpg%2Fv1%2Ffill%2Fw_1000%2Ch_625%2Cal_c%2Cq_90%2Fae43f8_4d173c7a9a1647188462acab0530f434%7Emv2.jpg&amp;hash=c36054d532d223c33b1e061359bd00e7" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>EGYPT.
