<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3643020, member: 75525&quot;]I picked up a few interesting pieces at the Bellaire Coin Club show last weekend. I collect Roman Republic and cast bronze, so three of these I think I can attribute ok. The small Greek electrum and silver pieces are a bit out of my area. I would appreciate some help on them.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]977969[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]977970[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>on edge clock wise:</p><p>Q. Cassius Longinus, Denarius, 55 BC.
