[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 396855, member: 6370"]First off, if it was gold, it wouldn't be tarnished from being buried. Second, it just doesn't look gold... I am going to agree with most here that even with very bad photo this looks like a poor fake of a Judaean Prutah or Lepton...a very common coin to be faked in a wide variety of styles Yours looks to be one of these: [IMG]http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/fakejewishcoins.jpg[/IMG] The ones above look very very very similar to yours and these are very common cheap fakes. Now I cant see your coin very well but I see an anchor and what looks to be little sperm (like the ones above) I assume those are dots with lines like the star side of the coin but just terribly off style... at the link below they are giving away nice replicas of these free with order: [URL="http://www.inkandblood.com/press_room/news/news_detail.php?PRKey=12"][COLOR=#800080]http://www.inkandblood.com/press_room/news/news_detail.php?PRKey=12[/COLOR][/URL] another with the same anchor: [URL="http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default.aspx?Page=81&ProductID=0794822002"][COLOR=#800080]http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default.aspx?Page=81&ProductID=0794822002[/COLOR][/URL] fake ones on pendants: [URL="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9982971"][COLOR=#800080]http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9982971[/COLOR][/URL] more replicas (click the photo of coins): [URL="http://www.shofartallit.com/product_info.php/products_id/3942?osCsid=d80966aa3c10ac258a66510a762e7402"][COLOR=#800080]http://www.shofartallit.com/product_info.php/products_id/3942?osCsid=d80966aa3c10ac258a66510a762e7402[/COLOR][/URL] This one is in a jar of anointing oil ;): [URL="http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=661113&netp_id=543283&event=EBRN&item_code=WW&view=details"][COLOR=#800080]http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=661113&netp_id=543283&event=EBRN&item_code=WW&view=details[/COLOR][/URL]: and here are a few real examples of the coin type I think its imitating: [IMG]http://imagedb.coinarchives.com/img/nac/040/00277q00.jpg[/IMG] ^^30 USD [IMG]http://imagedb.coinarchives.com/img/kunker/124/08055q00.jpg[/IMG] ^^ 173 USD It seems most likely that someone discarded a cheap replica of an ancient jewish coin they might have been given as a cheap give away than that someone discarded an athentic ancient jewish coin somwhere in alabama that happens to look like one of the most common fakes of the type.[/QUOTE]
