Message:: [QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 3129152, member: 41219"]I just received these in the mail today courtesy of a very generous forum member (I'm not sure if they want me to out them or not...). I mentioned hoping to own a coin from BCE some day and they messaged me with a generous offer. They came to me already ID'd but I am going to try and do it myself. I think this will be quite a challenge and I am looking forward to it!  My son was amazed with them as well. At 7, he still has a hard time grasping just how old these coins are. To be honest, at 34, I am too! However, he knows that they are waaaaaaaaaaaaay older than his 1881 Indian Head Cent haha.  Again, thank you to the forum member (if you don't mind being outed, I am more than happy to thank you publicly) and thank you to everyone here who was already been incredibly helpful an encouraging so far! Without further ado, here are the coins:#1[ATTACH=full]797959[/ATTACH] #2[ATTACH=full]797960[/ATTACH] #3 - I managed to ID this one I believe. Luckily I have a little bit of knowledge of Chinese and was able to get started down the right path. I don't think most people here will qualify this as "ancient" but it is about 1000 years older than anything I had before this lol. K'ai-Yuan T'ung-Pao 618-841 AD[ATTACH=full]797961[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
