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