<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4511045, member: 19463&quot;]By the time Rome started issuing the Antoninianus, the alloy was about 50%.&nbsp; If that is not silver enough for you, Greek is the only answer.&nbsp; A lot depends on your definitions of &#039;silver&#039; and &#039;quarter size&#039;.&nbsp; I suspect your man would like a Provincial tetradrachm in silver looking but well alloyed silver of Caracalla from Antioch.&nbsp; $150 will get one with wear or roughness but a nice one could be twice that.&nbsp; If diameter is the only important thing, Sasanian is a possibility.&nbsp; Most beginners would rather have a smaller Roman than c coin from a place they had no idea existed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
