    Well I cannot compete with Galba in the finding of coins. I think these are pretty good from Savoca. The silver was 44 Euro…two bronzes 19e and 14e.

    My question is, the Drachma looks super cleaned, which I am sure it is.
    Is there a point where the coin is too clean…..? Makes me wonder about authenticity a little bit…..Please comment. Thanks. This one is super shiny.

    Galba you got it good over there……Can I come visit?

    Bronzes look great. Is there excessive light reflection on the image, or have the reverse outlines been enhanced (tooled)?

    In my opinion the drachma has been heavily cleaned. Can you give us the weight? It ought to be about 4.0 grams.
