<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3013173, member: 75525&quot;]I attended a coin show last month in Houston. It was a medium sized show, but it did have a few dealers who sold ancient coins! </p><p>I have not bought a lot of RR silver lately, but picked up two consecutive Crawford #s - 426/3 &amp; 427/1 (Sear #s - 386 &amp; 387). Neither is high grade, but both are trophy coins! I forgot to ask Nick what the red dot on the description card meant. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]747534[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]747535[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Left coin above</p><p>Roman Republic</p><p>C.
