<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 7339495, member: 72790&quot;]Thanks for posting those sources. My own feeling is that since the mint was the same, Tyre, and the weight and fineness of the coins with Melqart or a Seleucid monarch, at that time , mid Second Century BC, being equal, that the two passed current equally. The designs are similar, so much so that just examining one coin from another takes some ID proficiency. Handling large numbers of them at the same time may have facilitated accepting both without that much of an examination. Merchants and priests may have had weight and fineness in mind and not too much else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
