I used to keep one on my Holey Gold Hat, even though it wasn't gold. [IMG] Had a 1789 Spade half-guinea on there, too. That one was the real...
That's a handsome Postumus, in or out of the plastic.
A lot of my sense of humor has not evolved significantly since around the fifth grade or so. :rolleyes:
Yep, you can actually make out the DIVO CLAVDIO legend. Claudius II, not Nigrinian. But looks like an authentic coin.
I had one of those privately-issued Hitler medals mentioned above, and a Stalin piece made by the same people. Since these are modern issues...
