[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 5364430, member: 112342"]Does anyone have this issue where your relatives just don't accept the fact that the coin you own is indeed ancient?! I usually don't share every coin that I buy with my parents, however if the coin is iconic I'll show it to them.

This belief extends to all the coins without a Gregorian date!!
