<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coin Pedant, post: 3617438, member: 105415&quot;]Hang on, hang on. A few issues with this:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>How do they explain ancient coins found in the most obscure places like the borders of India/North African deserts?</li> <li>What about coins found amongst carbon-dateable remains, such as coins found with bodies at Pompeii </li> <li>Experts can see clear differences between medieval fakes and original pieces</li> <li>Also I don&#039;t quite understand how they don&#039;t believe in classical civilisation, how do they think the romans conquered the entire Mediterranean?! </li> </ul><p>This also got me thinking, can scientists date ancient coins? Obviously carbon dating wont work, but is there any scientific method for scanning the carbon in coins or something?</p><p><br /></p><p>(ps, this is my first post so sorry for being too longwinded)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
