It is interesting that the article states they were found under the floor of an apartment dated AD 180-200. If this is correct, some of the...
Mat: Thank you for another great link. I wish there were close-up pictures as well as pictures of the reverses. Good stuff. Thank you, again....
Very nice photo edit.:thumb: Since none of my friends collect coins and many are inebriated idiots:p, I'd leave my nicer coins slabbed since...
