<p>[QUOTE="John Doe, post: 1490651, member: 21831"]Hello,</p><p> Today I visited a jewelry shop which contained several (6) coins that appear to be ancient. These coins were of brown and of a copperish-looking color. They also contained some sort of material (grime, dirt, mold?) that is of a lighter green color. This seems to be from some sort of damage (water, possibly) or just aging of the coins over the years. These coins appear to have several of the same person or of different people on them. The coins are of an uneven circular shape (probably due to the limited tools back then) and are as I can remember about 2 quarters (American) thick. I have included an imgur album of the pictures of the coins. What I would like to know is the <b>origin</b> of these coins, their <b>date</b> of making, and an an approximate <b>price</b> (there probably will not be a set value on them.) Thank you very much, and all feedback/information is appreciated. It should also be noted that there MAY be repeats of the same coins, and the pictures both includes the fronts and backs of coins. This I am sorry for, as I had to hurry to take the pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Album is here: <a href="http://imgur.com/a/Y9dki#0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgur.com/a/Y9dki#0" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/a/Y9dki#0</a></p><p><a href="http://imgur.com/a/Y9dki#0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgur.com/a/Y9dki#0" rel="nofollow"></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
