<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2763717, member: 87200&quot;]An interesting story. I once bought a jar of black sand from Hawaii for $1.00 at a garage sale in San Diego when I was ten years old. Inside were two coins I could never identify. Years later, I learned that one was an Alexandrian tetradrachm of Nero and the other a silver denier of Bohemund II of Antioch. Somehow the owner of the jar of black sand had squirreled away the coins in the black sand and when he passed away, his wife sold them at the garage sale. It turned out that the denier of Bohemund was a cast, and therefore, a forgery, whilst the tetradrachm turned out to be authentic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
