<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 2146179, member: 19409&quot;]You could take a look on VCoins for &quot;lepton&quot; to see if there&#039;s anything you like, but it doesn&#039;t look like there&#039;s much high grade there right now.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d say that most common lepton types that were minted prior to their deaths are likely to be ones that they would have seen around if they handled a decent amount of money (though exactly how monetized the economy was and how often exchanges were made with coins rather than some other exchange among fishermen and carpenters and the like, particularly away from major cities, can be hard to tell).&nbsp; Hoard finds could probably provide more information on exactly which types appeared to be circulating during their lives, but that&#039;ll take a bit of research.&nbsp; As for the chances of any specific coin being handled by a historical figure, it&#039;s pretty much impossible to tell.&nbsp; It&#039;s like asking whether a given penny was handled by JFK.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Also, am I the only one who feels that a ratty, worthless looking example of a lepton illustrates the story better than a nice one?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
