It seems worth waking up this thread for this special photograph - special to me, at any rate.

My mother's birthday is coming up in a few weeks, so I put together this century set in honor of her birth year.

I did post some photos earlier, but this is going to be printed and framed for a small present. Who knows, some of these may be older than her, and some younger. But like her, they're really doing nicely for their age.

 

I don't actually have a picture of my own coin so this is a stock photo It is by far the most valuable coin I have from my birth year. Mine is XF.

 

Received this on my 70th Birthday!

 

This might b close...

 

That looks more like a fossil . ...oh right we are talking Doug

 

Aes rude (Latin, "rough bronze") was a nugget of bronze used as a sort of proto-currency in ancient Italy during the gradual transition from bartering to the use of round coinage made from precious metals. 8th to 4th century BC (Wikipedia)

 

Fossil ( from the Latin word fossilis) meaning obtained from digging.

So if you dig through history somewhere there's a birth certificate well this case a cave painting that has this marking..
This was carbon dated sometime shortly after the dinosaurs became extinct .......and Treasure hunt parted the red sea.
*see page 1 paragraph 2 of the dead sea scrolls.

 

Sweet proof there Sy,

 

Cool thread idea
