<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewStyleKing, post: 4767403, member: 106483&quot;]Given that antique coins are strictly controlled in Syria,Turkey,Romania, Bulgaria,Palestine etc, and that no ancient coins were ever minted in the USA, I find it surprising that so many ancient coins exist there and continue to do so! </p><p>I would have thought that people interested in ancient coins would, like me, had a go at mentally scanning them and immediately pick out most like wot I did.</p><p>I don&#039;t collect Roman but I believe I noticed 2, I don&#039;t collect Cappadocian but I saw a few, I saw enough Pontus/Black sea types and had a wild guess at the last 3.Even the cistaphori were easily recognisable.</p><p>None of this work physically harmed me or caused me much mental grief.</p><p>I viewed it as a bit of an exercise-the types, age range ruled it out as a single hoard-just a collection like, Celtic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon types can be collected in England within a short distance .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
