D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 10/19/2009 6:04 pm These are auction pictures and this is about the largest I could get them without being too blurry. Advertised as a greek silver coin approx 10 mm. Fish on one side and animal(s) on the other. The coin looks porous is this right? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16851 Posts	Posted 10/19/2009 8:02 pm I'm not familiar with where this coin might be from, but those streaks I'm seeing look more like crystallization rather than porosity. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 10/24/2009 1:16 pm My coin was $80 from a main dealer. Given the condition and lack of centering etc. you might get $20-30 for yours. Report this Post to the Staff
