[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4612673, member: 110226"]They are nice, and I think that lends credence to the idea that they may have come from a museum or private collection. I think the coins from the hoard photo were arranged quite haphazardly. There are more rows (6) in the second photo, compared to the first photo, which has 5 rows. So, I wouldn't assume there's a match for each coin's obverse and reverse. Yes, the individual coins found by metal detector are usually very rough, with some totally encrusted and quite often corroded. I image we would look the same way stuck in the ground for over two thousand years. I'd be a little on the stiff side - time to dust off the Peloton bike! The Arabian coin, by the way, is a surface find, from Jordan, brought to the US by the family when they emigrated.[/QUOTE]
