<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 3316757, member: 41219&quot;]FFIVN and I took a quick trip over to the Annapolis coin show this morning. We didn&#039;t have anything in particular in mind to look for but I think we came out with some interesting stuff; 3 Greek and 1 Roman.</p><p><br /></p><p>FFIVN had $20 to spend. When we got there he decided that he wanted to find a Hobo Nickel. Unfortunately, none of the dealers had any so he decided to save it for the Baltimore show next month. We also ran into [USER=19250]@Paddy54[/USER] while we were sitting at the ancients table. Tried to get him to come over to the dark side but he decided to get a beautiful US silver 3c and a really nice looking Bolivian coin...maybe next time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I paid $80 for the 4 coins I was interested in and FFIVN got 2 freebies from the dealer. Both are going to be difficult to ID. If anyone who has some knowledge of North African -I think- or possibly Indian coinage, please help us out <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenicia, Tripolis AE17. </p><p>2nd Century BC. </p><p>Obv: Bust of Tyche right </p><p>Rev: The Dioskuri on horseback galloping right</p><p>[ATTACH=full]879211[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Alexander III (The Great), AE17. </p><p>ca 336-323 BC</p><p>Obv: Head of Herakles right, wearing lionskin </p><p>Rev: B (thunderbolt) A between a club and bowcase.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]879213[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Greek, uncertain mint</p><p>ca 2nd-1st century BC</p><p>AE 20, </p><p>Obv: Female head right, maybe Artemis?</p><p>Rev: Cornucopia and caduceus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]879222[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan Denarius. </p><p>114-117 AD.</p><p>Onv: IMP CAES NER TRAIAN OPTIM AVG GER DAC PM TRP COS VI, laureate draped bust right </p><p>Rev: PM TRP COS VI PP SPQR, Genius standing left, holding patera and corn ears.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]879227[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
