[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 6371533, member: 115909"]Personally I love old coinage. It just has so much history in such a small object and coins are like portable works of art. If they could talk I imagine they would all have amazing stories to tell. This should be fun! For all the Ancients collectors our there: What is the OLDEST coin in your collection (that can be dated and is actual coinage so none of the “cowry shells” kind of stuff. Unless you want to share that that’s fine too but it doesn’t count:).) I’m expecting a lot of people on this forum to have some of the 2nd century BC- 2nd century AD coinage from Rome and Greece but who knows what’s out there. I mean these are times when gold & silver were mined by hand by slaves in extremely dangerous conditions. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into these older coins.[/QUOTE]
