<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MazdaSpeedDan, post: 1301919, member: 34258&quot;]Hey everyone. Well interesting story here. </p><p><br /></p><p>I found this coin during my last tour in Iraq when I was stationed on the Iraqi/Syrian border.&nbsp; Heres how I came in possesion of this.&nbsp; Well before we got to our outpost they had engineers digging up farm fields for dirt so they could fill sandbags and fill Hesco baskets with the dirt.&nbsp; Well Fast forward to about 5 months into my deployment Im ontop of a old wheat mill and I see a bunch of sandbags that had been ripped open so I just go over and start kicking around in the dirt and something catches my eye, it turns out it was a coin.&nbsp; I am beyond disbelief because this coin just came out of the sandbag that had been filled by farm dirt 20 meters away.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I keep it in my wallet till the end of my tour and just pulled it out of my desk to take some pictures of it and see if anyone can help identify it. It looks like greek characters on it but I am no expert with coins. Here are the photos. I have never tried to clean or do anything to this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/MazdaSpeedDan/DSC01090.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/MazdaSpeedDan/DSC01089.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/MazdaSpeedDan/DSC01088.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/MazdaSpeedDan/DSC01082.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/MazdaSpeedDan/DSC01081.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a picture of the farm that the coin was pulled from.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/MazdaSpeedDan/DSC00215.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
