[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24819989, member: 26430"]These are really cool -- it would be great to have the pots, too. Probably all the same types all the way through. Sometimes they can become completely fused -- those are my favorite -- when stacks of coins can all get bent and crimped together and become inseparable. I used to have a lot more, but I still have a few [I]small[/I] stacks of inextricably fused coins. I think these 3 photos are different angles of 1 object (maybe the first photo is a different clump from #2-3? didn't label well enough!) [ATTACH=full]1588822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1588821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1588823[/ATTACH] I'm still really mad at myself: 15 or 20 years ago I sold some bigger stacks, each with a couple dozen silver Antoniniani from the mid-3rd century (Gordian III through Volusian?), plus a few smaller stacks. They had basically turned into thick silver [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar']rebar[/URL] -- like the photos above, but much longer. They weren't worth a lot. But they were SO interesting! And I've never been able to replace them :(:( The worst part? I can't even find photos of them all. Maybe someday I can dig them up online somehow.[/QUOTE]
