In recent Roma Auction/ lot#146 EL 1/4 Stater 13mm. 3.91g. was stated as being struck 7th/6th Century. Anyone know more about this primitive coin? John
WAFFLE HOUSE! (I am pretty sure you have those up there in Canada - I have eaten in a couple up there)! LOL, sorry, I do not know about your coin, but I enjoy "getting your goat"...
One of my favorites: MALTED WAFFLES... Yum. I only have a few Elephants (none are malted waffles, though): RR Caesar AR Denarius 49 BCE Traveling Mint Elephant-Pontificates Sear 1399 Craw 443/1 Seleucid Seleucus I 312-280 BCE AE 20 Athena-Elephant Spaer 129 Seleucid Seleucus I 312-280 BCE AR Tet 14.46g Seleucia on Tigris. Zeus bust - Athena driving a quadriga of 4 horned elephants SC 130
Cool OP-addition, panzerdawg ... Ummm, but I'm thinking more along the lines of a McDonalds hashbrown? ... 6th or 7th century BC, eh? (that's amazingly old) You jumped at this golden oldie and now you're trying to figure-out what you bought? (man, that sounds more like a Friday Night stevex6 move?!)
Just got back, we had a snow event here, so had to clear snow in April! Sure does look like a waffle, one weird primitive form of coinage.
Of course it looks like a waffle. But it is a cheap European fake. In fact, there is a place on ebay where they sell these like hotcakes. The color is off on the Roma photo, they are more of a golden brown.
Your post was the first of the morning, not even a cup of coffee down, I have seen some examples of gold plated items, that is the best Gold covered waffle I have seen, I cant tell the exact carrot of gold it is, But, truly authentic. Nice, pick my friend!
