The Houston Money Show was a couple weekends ago. I said I wasn't going to buy, just look.
Having said this the last several coin shows that I attended.
Seemingly to this date I have failed every time.
I bought the following 2 coins.
First is a tetradrachm from Phoenicia. Arados, Tyche obverse and Nike reverse with city name. $90. Fairly decent price. I think.
My first Greek tetradrachm (4th Greek silver) and possibly my next really bad collecting habit.
Second is a Spanish 4 reale. I like these coins. Would like to make a bigger collection of these. This is my second of these. The first was a 2 reale.

Come on over ... to The Dark Side!
<< <i>Nice picks, Doug ... for someone who is so irresolute.
Nahhh.

Need some nice Roman denarii to go with those Greek pieces?
Trajan
Hadrian
Faustina I
faustina II
Marcus Aurelius
Vespasian
Although not into the silver Romans as much as I am the bronze.
And you're right about the greek silver being habit forming. I've already been warned.
I have the smaller Greek silver(tetrobols) and now the Tet. I'm feeling the urge.
